This is correct. Instead of Mitosis, the normal kind of cell division in which the cell's DNA duplicates to form 2 identical daughter cells, Meiosis creates 4 daughter cells, each with only 23 chromosomes. Also, meiosis 'crosses over' chromosomes to form daughter cells with unique chromosomes, which will contain genetic information from both biological parents.
true
It is True. add me on snapchat @ashley_akio and say you saw this :

It is a key part of offspring creation
A gamete is one of two cells needed for sexual reproduction. Male gametes are sperm, while female gametes are eggs. When fused, they form a zygote.
Meiosis creates haploid cells. Haploid cells are cells which have only half of the complete set of chromosomes. Meiosis is needed for sexual reproduction because both the sperm cell and the egg have to be haploid so that they can combine to form a full genetic sequence.
Because meiosis means halving and that is whats needed to produce n number gametes. 23 chromosomes in humans.
Meiosis is cell division whereby the sex cells produced are called gametes and have only half the DNA of the parent, ready for pairing up with the other sex cell from the other parent, to give 100% DNA.
False

Egg and sperm
No, it halves it. This is because Meiosis is only used in the production of sex cells (gametes), and two gametes are needed for a zygote to be created, and each carries half the normal number of chromosomes. When they join together during fertilization their offspring will carry the normal number of chromosomes.
Meiosis produces the sperm and egg cells needed for reproduction. Only cells in the ovaries or testes undergo meiosis.
Meiosis produces diverse haploid cells that combine during sexual reproduction, ideal for the theory of natural selection. It ensures that reduction division occurs so that when the gametes (haploids) form a zygote (diploid) it ends up having the original 46 chromosomes.

The female gamete is an ovum and the male gamete is a sperm cell or spermatozoan.
Meiosis is needed in sexual reproduction.It is not need in growth,recoveries etc.

That would be called pregenant in most languages.
