Meiosis takes place in the gamete cells of humans. In human males meiosis takes place in the sperm cells, in human females it takes place in the ovum.
meiosis occurs in organisms so that they can reproduce sexually, its a process of cell division during which the nucleus divides into four nuclei, each of which contains half the usual number of chromosomes. and it occurs in both males and females
Meiosis is also termed as reduction division. first the diploid(2n) gamete undergoes meiosis to become haploid(1n) then fertilization takes place. For growth and development mitosis is necessary. Meiosis is needed to half the chromosomes number . For example in human there are 46 chromosomes. if fertilization takes place without meiosis then the resulting organism would have 92 chromosomes which off course will not be a human!
yes . it is . nondisjunction is takes place during meiosis.
is mitosis or meiosis used to make body cells
it takes place in the metaphase
Meiosis takes place in the reproductive organs (testes in males and ovaries in females) to produce gametes (sperm and eggs), while mitosis occurs in various tissues throughout the body for growth, repair, and maintenance of cells.
Crossing-over takes place between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
It takes place in the sex organs. So it can produce 4 gametes.
so that cell division takes place
ovum and sperm
there is no difference between the meosis in males and females.
Meiosis takes place in sexual reproduction and genetic variations takes place in sexual reproduction. Genetic variations lead to evolution to new species.
