Meiosis is necessary in order for sexual reproduction to occur. It ensures that when the gametes (eg. sperm and egg) combine, the new organism has the correct number of chromosomes.

What is the process of meiosis?
Meiosis is a type of cell division that is necessary for the animals, plant, and fungi sexual reproduction. In this process the meiosis are divided into two divisions the meiosis I and meiosis II and the each division has four stages: prophase, metaphase, telophase and anaphase.
What process occurs only in the information of gametes?
During the formation of gametes - a process called gametogenesis - meiosis is a process which only occurs during this period. Meiosis is a special type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction.
Why is meiosis necessary for sexual reproduction?
Meiosis is a special type of cell division. It is necessary for sexual reproduction because it mixes genes between each parents' chromosomes to produce a new chromosome with new genetic combinations.
Why meiosis is not the type of cell division that produces new skin cells?
Meiosis could not be a type of cell division that produces new skin cells because meiosis is a cell division necessary for sexual reproduction only.
Why is it necessary for homologous to pair during meiosis and not desirable for them to pair in mitosis?
to cross over which results in the genetic recombination
Why is meiosis a necessary part of the life of any sexual reproducing organism?
Because without meiosis there would be no sexual reproduction.

Meiosis is necessary to produce?
Meiosis is a special type of cell division. It is important to reproduce due to the sets of chromosomes in the cell.

During the formation of gametes - a process called gametogenesis - meiosis is a process which only occurs during this period. Meiosis is a special type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction.

What is the definion of meiosis?
meiosis means that it is the sexual cell division process the gametes necessary for sexual reproduction and is shown with a explanation of each numbered step!! thanks for your cooperation ~Tamia
Why meiosis is not the type of cell division that produces new skin cells?
Meiosis could not be a type of cell division that produces new skin cells because meiosis is a cell division necessary for sexual reproduction only.
Why is it necessary for meiosis to produce cell with half the number of chromosomes?
To conserve the chromosomal number. Otherwise it will doubled
What process is absolutely necessary for sexual reproduction to occur in a life cycle but is not required for organisms that only reproduce asexually?
Meiosis is needed in sexual reproduction.It is not need in growth,recoveries etc.
Why is it necessary for homologous to pair during meiosis and not desirable for them to pair in mitosis?
to cross over which results in the genetic recombination
Why breathing is necessary?
because many of your cells need oxygen to start chemical reaction processes such as mitosis and meiosis.
