Meosis creates gametes (reproductive cells) and allows genetic variation of the species

What process accounts for species diversity?

Meiosis accounts for species diversity. Meiosis results in four rather than two daughter cells, each with a haploid set of chromosomes. Meiosis is responsible for producing gametes or sex cells.


Which statement best explains the significance of meiosis in the process of evolution within species?

Meiosis takes place in sexual reproduction and genetic variations takes place in sexual reproduction. Genetic variations lead to evolution to new species.


Where does meiosis occur in male pigs?

Here it is. mitosis is a division on the body cells meiosis is a division on the sex cells. Thus, meiosis take place in the sex organ of the pig.

Why does a mitosis performing cell changes himself to perform meiosis?

Meiosis occurs in only the reproductive cells to form gametes (in humans... eggs and sperm). And it would be performed to perpetuate a species...


Why do some species employ both mitosis and meiosis where others only use mitosis?

Some species use both mitosis and meiosis because they have specialized reproductive cycles that involve both processes. Mitosis is used for growth, development, and tissue repair, while meiosis is specifically used for the production of gametes (sex cells) for sexual reproduction. In contrast, species that only use mitosis for reproduction have simpler life cycles and reproduce asexually, without the need for meiosis to generate genetically diverse offspring.

Why do we need meosis?

Meiosis ensures that there is mixing of genetic material among organisms, leading to better adaptation. As a species, meiosis also enables lethal mutations to get balanced or cancelled out in the next generation.
