Question

Is meiosis and gametogenesis interlinked in case of haploid organisms? Justify.

Answer 1

Answer:

yes,

In order to produce gamete which are haploid in nature the cells have to undergo meiosis. The chromosome number is reduced to half in the two successive meiotic cycles. Thus, meiosis and gametogenesis are always interlinked.

Answer 2

Meiosis is a process of reductional division in which the amount of genetic material is reduced. Gametogenesis is the process of the formation of gametes. Gametes produced by organisms are haploids (containing only one set of chromosomes), while the body of an organism is diploid. Therefore, for producing haploid gametes (gametogenesis), the germ cells of an organism undergo meiosis. During the process, the meiocytes of an organism undergo two successive nuclear and cell divisions with a single cycle of DNA replication to form the haploid gametes.

In simple words,

       In order to produce gamete which are haploid in nature the cells have to undergo meiosis. The chromosome number is reduced to half in the two successive meiotic cycles. Thus, meiosis and gametogenesis are always interlinked.
