Meiosis is a special type of cell division. It is important to reproduce due to the sets of chromosomes in the cell.
To conserve the chromosomal number. Otherwise it will doubled
The main purpose of mitosis is to produce 2 identical daughter cells while the purpose of meiosis is for a cell to divide and produce 4 gamete cells that are necessary for reproduction.
Meiosis produce haploid cells.So meiosis is used to produce sperms and ova.
Meiosis produces four genetically distinct daughter cells.
Sperm and egg
meiosis
meiosis
cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes which are also called your "sex" cells
There are exactly 4 haploid cells produced after meiosis.
No. meiosis results in four haploid cells.
Meiosis and not mitosis must be used to produce gamete. This is because meiosis produces spores that are used for reproduction and can form similar copies to the parent cell.
The process of meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction to occur in a life cycle. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes, allowing for genetic diversity through the combination of genetic material from two parents. In asexual reproduction, organisms produce offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, so meiosis is not required.
