Name one environmental importance in animals of meiosis to the offspring?
reporduction by meiosis produces offspring that are genetically varied allowing them to adapt adversly to their environments and have more chance of survival as with mitosis there are no genetic variations and therefore the animals would only be adapted to survive in a stable environment similar to their parent/s

What is the importance of meiosis in sexually reproductive organism?
Meiosis is still important for the regrowth of cells in a sexually reproductive organism. For example even thought humans reproduce sexually they still have skin cells, like hair, finger nails, and even normal skin that produces new cells by meiosis.

Why was meiosis discovered?
it was discovered because the early scientist were curious enough and wanted to no more about how humans were made and it;s importance to our lifestyles.
What is the importance of meiosis in sexual reproduction of flowering plants?

Are Meiosis I and Meiosis II identical steps that follow each other?
If you mean meiosis I and meiosis II, then no they are not identical, but meiosis II does follow meiosis I.
Do jellyfish use mitosis or meiosis?
