Question

Why gametogenesis and meiosis are always interlinked??

Answer 1

(uncountable) Cell division of a diploid cell into four haploid cells, which develop to produce gametes

$\Huge{\mathcal{\green{\underline{Answer}}}}$

✔️ 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.
