Question

Why do humans need meiosis?

Answer 1

Meiosis:

1. Meiosis is the process by which sexually reproducing organisms generate gametes.
2. In humans, during meiosis sperm cells and egg cells are produced.
3. Humans need meiosis to produce new off-springs.
4. Meiosis is important for three main reasons: it allows sexual reproduction of diploid organisms, it enables genetic diversity, and it aids the repair of genetic defects.
5. Meiosis plays a crucial role in ensuring that all creatures created through sexual reproduction have the appropriate amount of chromosomes.
6. Through the mechanism of recombination, meiosis also results in genetic variety.
