Meiosis in animals is a type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction. During meiosis, the chromosomes are halved so that during sexual reproduction two halves from two parents can come together and form one cell, genetically combining their different chromosomes.
Meiosis
no
Meiosis occurs only in specific cells, such as reproductive cells in plants and animals. It is not constantly occurring in all cells in the body.
The main purpose of mitosis is to produce 2 identical daughter cells while the purpose of meiosis is for a cell to divide and produce 4 gamete cells that are necessary for reproduction.
Meiosis does not end with the production of diploid cells; instead, it results in the formation of haploid gametes (sperm and eggs in animals). Additionally, meiosis does not involve the duplication of chromosomes in the second division, which is a key difference from mitosis. Instead, it consists of two rounds of division—meiosis I and meiosis II—without an intervening round of DNA replication.

Mitosis. Meiosis is only concerned in sex cells.
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.
Meiosis occurs only in specific cells, such as reproductive cells in plants and animals. It is not constantly occurring in all cells in the body.
Organisms that exhibit gametic meiosis are typically animals, including most vertebrates and invertebrates. In this type of meiosis, only the gametes (sperm and egg cells) are haploid, while the rest of the organism's cells are diploid.
The primary goal of meiosis is to produce genetically unique haploid cells, such as eggs and sperm, with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This process ensures genetic diversity and is crucial for sexual reproduction.
So organisms can procreate and actually fulfill their biological purpose to survive and reproduce. Meiosis is the process in which some organisms reproduce.
The main purpose of mitosis is to produce 2 identical daughter cells while the purpose of meiosis is for a cell to divide and produce 4 gamete cells that are necessary for reproduction.
