Answer:
SIGNIFICANCE OF MEIOSIS :
- Formation of gametes : Meiosis produces gametes for sexual reproduction. Gametes are essential for sexual reproduction because in sexual reproduction an organism is formed by the fusion of two gametes.
- Maintenance of chromosome number : Meiosis reduces the chromosome number to half in the gametes, so that fertilization restores the original diploid number in the zygote.
- Introduction of variations : Meiosis provides a chance for formation of new combinations of chromosomes. This brings out variations.
