Solution (By Examveda Team)
Term 'Meiosis' was coined by Farmer & Moore.The term "meiosis" is derived from the Greek word meaning 'lessening'. It was introduced to biology by J. B. Farmer and J. E. S. Moore in 1905, using the idiosyncratic rendering "maiosis".
The spelling was changed to "meiosis" by Koernicke (1905) and by Pantel and De Sinety (1906) to follow the usual conventions for transliterating Greek.
