1.The number of chromosomes get halfed in gamets so that on firtilization the orignal umber is restored.
2.the mixing up of gens occurs in 2 ways :
maternal and paternal gens get mixed up during 1st division as they seprate from homologus pair

∙ 11y agoSexual reproduction- it ensures the production of haploid gametes in sexual reproduction.
Genetic Variation- Meiosis provides opportunity for new combination of gametes to occur in the gametes. This leads to genetic variation in the offspring produced by fusion of the gametes.
It also allows trait inheritance in offsprings

While examining a cell in prophase 1 of meiosis you observe a pair of homologous pairing tightly what is the significance of the places at which the chromosomes are joined?
Right after pro-phase one is when chromosomes cross over and join together.This occur in the meiosis process.
What Meiosis occurs in .?
meiosis occurs in the overies and the testies.....there is 2 stage of meiosis...meiosis 1 and meiosis
Is a type of cell division that produce gametes?
That is meiosis.
Recombination occurs during?
meiosis
What is an example for meiosis?
what is an example for meiosis
What is the significance of the reduction in the chromosomes number during meiosis?
Ya mum.
What are some examples of burden and meiosis in poetry?
In poetry, the burden can refer to a heavy emotional weight or responsibility that weighs on the speaker, while meiosis is a form of understatement that minimizes the significance of something to create emphasis. An example of burden in poetry can be found in Sylvia Plath's "Lady Lazarus," where the speaker grapples with the burden of death and rebirth. An example of meiosis can be seen in Emily Dickinson's "Because I could not stop for Death," where the speaker downplays the significance of death's arrival by describing it as a casual, routine occurrence.
How does the significance of meiosis maintained the chromosome number?
No. Meiosis results in halving of chromosome number. Chromosome number after one round of meiosis is half that of original chromosome number. Generally, meiosis takes place during gamete formation. So when two gametes fuse, they lead to restoration of the chromosome number. Hence chromosome number can be maintained in sexually reproducing organisms.
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.
While examining a cell in prophase 1 of meiosis you observe a pair of homologous pairing tightly what is the significance of the places at which the chromosomes are joined?
Right after pro-phase one is when chromosomes cross over and join together.This occur in the meiosis process.
What is the biological significance of prophase 1 in meiosis 1?
In anaphase I the tetrad is pulled to separate polls and the sister chromatids, representing one chromosome. are still attached. In anaphase II these sister chromatids are pulled to the polls again and you have a cell with one n number male or female chromosome. The point of meiosis.
What are the two distinct stages of meiosis?
Meiosis I and meiosis II
What Meiosis occurs in .?
meiosis occurs in the overies and the testies.....there is 2 stage of meiosis...meiosis 1 and meiosis
What is the figure of speech -- not litotes or meiosis -- for negating a negative such as when you say something is 'not unreasonable' instead of simply 'reasonable'?
Intentionally undermines something or makes it seem lesser in significance.
Are Meiosis I and Meiosis II identical steps that follow each other?
If you mean meiosis I and meiosis II, then no they are not identical, but meiosis II does follow meiosis I.
Do jellyfish use mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis
What are two distinctive divisions of meiosis?
Meiosis I & Meiosis II
