Answer:

hey mate here is your answer..<

During meiosis, the cells needed for sexual reproduction divide to produce new cells called gametes. Gametes contain half as many chromosomes as the other cells in the organism, and each gamete is genetically unique because the DNA of the parent cell is shuffled before the cell divides.

During sexual reproduction the following things happen to the DNA.

Explanation:

  • The meiosis or reduction division occurs in the cells during the sexual reproduction.
  • The meiosis causes the cells to divide to produce the gametes.
  • The gametes consists of half of many chromosomes derived from the parent cells.
  • Each gamete can be found genetically different from other because of DNA content.
  • The DNA segregation takes place during the fusion of the gametes during zygote formation. Half characteristics or traits are passed from each parent to the progeny this is the basis of variation in living beings and the offspring does not look exactly similar to the parents.
