Question

Explain why meiosis and gametogenesis are always interlinked

Answer 1

Answer:

Meiosis refers to the cell division which causes a reduction in the number of chromosomes by half and gametogenesis is the formation of male and female gametes. These two terms are often interlinked because gamete formation in diploid organisms occurs through meiosis only.

Answer 2

Answer:

As we know (you should know this), that the gametes are haploid (have half the chromosome as in a diploid autosomal cell). The formation of haploid gamete is only possible by meiosis ( reductional division).

Hence, these 2 processes are always interlinked.
