Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction. During reproduction, when the sperm and egg unit to form single cell for sexual reproduction. During reproduction, when the sperm and egg unit to form a single cell, the number of chromosome is restored in the offspring.
Meiosis begins with a parent cell that is diploid, meaning it has two copies of each chromosome. The parent cell undergoes one round of DNA replication followed by two separate cycles of nuclear division. The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell.

Answer:
Jaws and a swimming bladder
Explanation:
A defining characteristic between sharks and rays that distinguish them from ray-finned fish is the *possession of jaws in sharks* and rays;and the *possession of swimming bladder in ray-finned fishes*.
Characteristics of sharks and rays are as follows :
They are cartiiliginous fishes; they possess *strong jaws* lined with teeth; body dorsoventrally flattened, fusiform (spindle shaped) with heterocercal tail(diphycercal in Chimaeras); paired fins; *no swimming bladder or lungs*; pelvic fins in males often modified to form clappers; Gill arches internal to gills; reduced notchord; lateral-line system; paired nostrils; internal nares absent; separate sexes; internal fertilization and direct development; oviparous, oviparous, or ovoviviparous. Examples include, Spiny dog fish or dog shark, Ray Raja, Chimaera.
Characteristics of ray-finned fishses:
They generally lack paired fins; no internal nares; *air sacks usually function as swimming bladder*; skeleton usually well ossified. Blind olfactory sacs (do not open into the mouth); Tail homocercal. Examples include Tilapia, Claris,and Polypterus.
