Meiosis is a process to convert a diploid cell to a haploid gamete, and cause a change in the genetic information to increase diversity in the offspring. So it is basically turning yours and your mates genes into a unique being in sexual reproduction.

∙ 11y agoBecause this is the process necessary to reproduce - a key component of this process is the mixing up of two sets of DNA... so you get variety (this is necessary for evolution and survival).
Mitosis is cell division but there is no variety. Every cell in your body has the same DNA - just different genes are expressed based on the presence of chemicals that turn them on or not.

How do multicellular organisms reproduce?
They reproduce through meiosis.
Are protococcus single celled organism or multicellular organisms?

How is the function of cell division in single-celled organisms different from cell division in multicellular organisms?
cells in a multicellular organism have the ability to specialize in certain functions for the overall success of the organism. some genes will be expressed in some cells while other genes in other cells. this creates the difference between skin cells versus liver or blood cells. a unicellular organism must cover all the functions of an entire organism and all the necessary genes must be expressed plus all the functions of created and breaking down compounds necessary for growth, development and producing offspring.
What process do cells undergo when organisms grow?
They should be remain diploid.So they undergo mitosis.
Are mules multicellular?
Yes, mules are multicellular organisms.
Meiosis is very important to multicellular organisms because multicellular organisms can't reproduce asexually?
this is false
Meiosis is very important to multicellular organisms because multicellular organisms cant reproduce asexually?
false
How do multicellular organisms reproduce?
They reproduce through meiosis.
Meiosis is very important to multicellular organisms because multicellular organisms cant reproduce asexually true or false?
false
What type of Cell carries out mitosis and meiosis?
These multicellular and some unicellular organisms are termed Eukaryotic Cells.
Types of multicellular organisms?
ten multicellular organisms
All multicellular organisms are called?
There are many examples of multicellular organisms. Us humans are multicellular, animals are multicellular. Smaller organisms are unicells.
Are fish multicellular organisms?
Yes, fish are multicellular organisms
How do multicellular organisms begin?
multicellular organisms begin as a single cell.
Are protococcus single celled organism or multicellular organisms?
iT Is mUltIcelLULAr bEcAuSe iT Has mAnY CeLlS
Do all organisms begin as a single cell-?
Yes, all organisms begin as a single-celled zygote. Then they undergo meiosis and mitosis to replicate if they are multicellular or stay the same if they are single celled organisms.
Multicellular organisms are?
Multicellular organisms are organisms that consist of more than one cell, in contrast to unicellular organisms.
