Question

list any 2 key features of meiotic cell division sexually reproducing organisms​

Answer 1

Answer:

Features of Meiosis

It results in the formation of four daughter cells in each cycle of cell division.

The daughter cells are identical to the mother cell in shape and size but different in chromosome number.

The daughter cells are haploid.

Recombination and segregation take place in meiosis.

Answer 2

The two key features of Meiotic cell division in sexually reproducing animals are:

• Meiosis is a reductional division and hence the Chromosome numbers are reduced and it helps in the formation of gametes which are the main raw materials of sexual reproduction.

• It induces genetic recombination and variations by undergoing the process known as 'crossing over'.
