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 is necessary to produce gametes (sperm and eggs) with half the number of chromosomes so that when fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote has the correct diploid chromosome number. This reduction is crucial for maintaining genetic stability across generations, as it prevents chromosome doubling in each generation. Additionally, meiosis introduces genetic diversity through processes like crossing over and independent assortment, which are essential for evolution and adaptation.
Meiosis produces four genetically distinct daughter cells.
Sperm and egg

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.
