Meiosis reduces number of chromosomes to one half . when two gametes fuse , it restores original diploid number of chromosomes .With out this diploid number of chromosomes could not be maintained .
Reduction/reductional
There are not two types of meiosis; rather, meiosis is a single process that consists of two sequential divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I is a reductional division where homologous chromosomes are separated, reducing the chromosome number by half, while meiosis II is an equational division similar to mitosis, where sister chromatids are separated. This process results in four genetically diverse haploid cells from one diploid cell.
DNA is copied
mitosis is the process of cell division where in the chromosomes replicate and get equally distributed into two daughter cells . the chromosome number in each daughter cell is equal to that in the parent cell..i.e. diploid hence mitosis is known as equational division..
Yes. Pollen consists of half the number of chromosomes than are present in the sex cells which is the result of meiosis, a reductional division producing gametes.
Reduction/reductional
Meiosis cell division is called reduction division because in this cell division the cells got from the parents cell is divided into half. So the daughter cells is haploid(n). Thus, meiosis cell division is called reduction division.
Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction because it allows for genetic variation to occur by producing gametes with half the number of chromosomes. During fertilization, when two gametes combine, a new organism is formed with a unique combination of genetic information from both parents. This genetic diversity is important for the adaptation and evolution of species.

According to Wikipedia:"In biology, meiosis (pronounced /maɪˈoʊsɨs/) is a process of reductional division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half."
DNA is copied

Mitosis makes new cells that are used during growth, development, repair, and asexual reproduction.Meiosis makes cells that enable an organism to reproduce sexually and happens only in reproductive structures.They both lead to cell division, rest is different. Meiosis leads to reductional division, taking place in sex cells only while Mitosis takes place in somatic (body) Cells. Meiosis produces 4 daughter Cells and mitosis produces 2.
Yes. Pollen consists of half the number of chromosomes than are present in the sex cells which is the result of meiosis, a reductional division producing gametes.
Meiosis I is a reductional division where homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two haploid cells, each containing one chromosome from each pair. In contrast, Meiosis II is an equational division that separates sister chromatids, producing four haploid gametes. Additionally, Meiosis I involves genetic recombination through crossing over, which does not occur in Meiosis II.
No, meiosis is a division of only gametic cells.Mitosis is the cell division of the tissue cells rather all the somatic cells.Meiosis is a reductional division in which the chromosome number of the daughter cell reduces to half.Mitosis restores the original number of chromosomes in the daughter cells. It increase the number of the cells in the population.
The main difference between meiosis I and meiosis II is that meiosis I is a reductional division, where homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two haploid cells, each with half the chromosome number. In contrast, meiosis II is an equational division that resembles mitosis, where sister chromatids are separated in each of the two haploid cells, leading to a total of four haploid gametes. This distinction is crucial for ensuring genetic diversity and the proper distribution of chromosomes in sexual reproduction.
