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.

∙ 14y agomeiosis is needed to create a genetically diversity. If there were no meiosis and mitosis There could be a large chance you and me looked the same

How do sexually reproducing organisms produce gametes from diploid progenitors?
Through Meiosis
What would be produced by meiosis?
Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms. It produces haploid cells, which are also known as gametes.
Does meiosis occur in all growing organisms?
No, meiosis does not occur in all growing organisms. Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms to produce gametes (eggs and sperm). Organisms that reproduce asexually, such as bacteria and some plants, do not undergo meiosis.
When a cell undergoes meiosis what will be the result?
Mitoses does take place in sexually reproducing organisms. There are two types of cells in your body, somatic cells (heart, skin, bones, etc.) and sex cells (eggs and sperm). Somatic cells all use mitosis to make more of themselves. Sex cells use meiosis to make more of themselves. If sex cells used mitosis instead of meiosis they would have too many chromosomes and the baby would have problems (if it survived at all).
How does meiosis help genetic?
Meiosis is the division of the sex cells (sperm and egg). Meiosis produces gametes with one half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. A female gamete and male gamete will then undergo fertilization and create a zygote. (not limited to just humans, meiosis occurs in sexually reproducing organisms).
If meiosis did not occur in sexually reproducing organisms?
If meiosis did not occur in sexually reproducing organisms, the chromosome number would double in each generation. Sexual reproduction results in new combinations of genetic traits.
What is an important factor in increasing variety among sexually reproducing organisms?
Because male and female cross the age of 18 they are reproducing are sex
What will happen if cell do not undergo meiosis in sexually reproducing organisms?
There will be no reproduction

What happen during meiosis?
the process of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the # of chromosomes in reproductive cells

What will happen if meiosis did not occur in sexually reproducing organisms?
If meiosis did not occur then the chromosome number would double each generation, and the cell could not survive with this increasingly larger number of chromosomes.
What kind of organisms exhibit gametic meiosis?
Organisms that reproduce sexually generally exhibit gametic meiosis. Organisms that reproduce through gametic meiosis are typically humans or even animals.
How can genetic variation be introduced to sexually reproducing organisms?
In organisms that reproduce sexually, each offspring gets half its chromosomes from its mother and half from its father. Therefore, except in the case of monozygous twins, the chances of chromosomally identical siblings are very low.
