For 10 points, name this form of cell division that takes place during sexual reproduction, often contrasted with mitosis.
In Arabidopsis, the SOLO DANCERS gene controls the first step of this process, during which the synaptonemal complex forms. The coefficient of coincidence measures the interference during this process. One form of this process results in the formation of polar bodies. Nondisjunction during this process can cause Turner Syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome or trisomy 21. Anaphase I and II (one and two) are parts of this process.

meiosis [accept prophase I before "coincidence"; prompt on spermatogenesis before "polar"; prompt on oogenesis; prompt on gametogenesis]
