Meiosis is an ancient type of cell division whose advent allowed the evolution of sexual reproduction. The evolutionary history of the specialization that allowed gamete production to emerge from a simple reduction division has been unclear. New data now suggest that the molecular mechanisms involved in animal oocyte specialization may have origins that predate the emergence of bilaterian animals.Citable link to this page
