Meiosis facilitates stable sexual reproduction. Without the halving of ploidy, or chromosome count, fertilization would result in zygotes that have twice the number of chromosomes as the zygotes from the previous generation. Successive generations would have an exponential increase in chromosome count. In organisms that are normally diploid, polyploidy, the state of having three or more sets of chromosomes, results in extreme developmental abnormalities or lethality. Polyploidy is poorly tolerated in most animal species. Plants, however, regularly produce fertile, viable polyploids. Polyploidy has been implicated as an important mechanism in plant speciation. Most importantly, recombination and independent assortment of homologous chromosomes allow for a greater diversity of genotypes in the population. This produces genetic variation in gametes that promote genetic and phenotypic variation in a population of offspring.
So reproduction can occur.
On a side note, gamete doesn't go through meiosis. That responsibility goes to gametocytes, such as spermatocyte or oocytes. Gametes are the ones that combine with the other gamete to form a zygote.
To divide and reproduce! If cells don't undergo meiosis..then cells can't divide and they won't be able to reproduce!
Meiosis is the cell division of gametes, or sex cells, and since sperm and egg are gametes, sperm and egg must be produced by meiosis.

meiosis is the process by which gametes are formed
sperms and egg cells
Four daughter cells are produced in meiosis.
They are made in the genitals of a man through meiosis, which is a type of cell division.
The production of sex cells is called "gametogenesis." This makes sense since a gamete is a reproductive cell and "genesis" means creation or beginning. If the sex cells being produced are sperm the process is called "spermatogenesis" and if the sex cells being produced are eggs it is called "oogenisis."
Sex cells: sperm and eggs. These are produced my meiosis.
At the end of meiosis, there are four sperm cells.
each cell found in your testicles divides through meiosis to form 4 individual sperms.
Meiosis produce haploid cells.So meiosis is used to produce sperms and ova.
if sperms were larger than eggs, al the sperms will squash the egg and there will be no baby!!!
germ cells are formed in the process of meiosis.
four per spermatogonium
Gametes are produced by meiosis
the products of meiosis i. e. sperms, in men are several times more than the ova, in women
The egg is produced by the ovary through its follicles. These follicles are then stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormones from the anterior pituitary gland. Every 28 days, one egg from each ovary is produced. Sperm is constantly manufactured by the seminiferous tubules of the testes. Technically, males don't run out of sperm because a new batch is produced every day.
