Meiosis is used to make gametes in the human body. The gametes will either be sperm or eggs depending on the gender.

∙ 12y agoMeiosis is used to produce four haploid daughter cells. This is primarily used for producing sex cells, which are involved in sexual reproduction.
Meiosis results in cells which have half the number of chromosomes to a normal cell, which is perfect for sexual reproduction because when the sex cells from the two parents combine, the offspring ends up with the correct number of chromosomes (half from each parent).

∙ 11y agoMeiosis is used mostly in one place--when eggs and sperm fuse. When gametes fuse from diploid cells that is meiosis. This is due to the fact that the cell must be haploid before it can be diploid. Meiosis might also be used when spore grows into a steatophyte.
