Question

How is meiosis related to the study of genetics?

Answer 1

Hey Mate☺️

Meiosis is the cell division process that gives rise to gametes. During meiosis the chromosome count is halved and it is at this point that genetic make up of each gamete is determined.

Answer 2

✨Meiosis is a cell division process that gives rise to gametes.  

✨During meiosis, the chromosome count is halved and it is at this point that genetic make-up of each gamete gets determined.

✨The chromosomes pair up and genes can swap from one chromosome to another in the process of recombination.

✨This is also a random event.  

✨Therefore, meiosis is a critical point in the determination of the genetic make-up of the next generation.
