Why is meiosis important to sexually reproducing organisms?
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.
Which terms are used for gametes that are needed for reproduction in vertebrate animals?
The female gamete is an ovum and the male gamete is a sperm cell or spermatozoan.
What process is absolutely necessary for sexual reproduction to occur in a life cycle but is not required for organisms that only reproduce asexually?
Meiosis is needed in sexual reproduction.It is not need in growth,recoveries etc.
What happens when egg and sperm are formed in meiosis?
That would be called pregenant in most languages.
What is the egg cell in a female's body?
The egg cell, also called the haploid cell, is the female gamete. A pair of gametes, egg and sperm, are what are needed in order for reproduction to occur.
Why are the process of mitosis and meiosis needed?
It is a key part of offspring creation
What terms are used for gametes that are needed for reproduction in vertebrate animals?
Egg and sperm
Does meiosis increaase the number of chromosomes in a cell?
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.
How meiosis help in cell division?
Meiosis produces the sperm and egg cells needed for reproduction. Only cells in the ovaries or testes undergo meiosis.

What are male gametes?
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 occurs when gametes are needed during sexual reproduction.?
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.
Why is meiosis necessary in sexually reproduction organisms?
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.

Gametes are produced by meiosis rather than mitosis because?
Because meiosis means halving and that is whats needed to produce n number gametes. 23 chromosomes in humans.

That would be called pregenant in most languages.
