But when asked about the tallest mountain most would probably say Everest again, not understanding that in mountain measuring terms you just asked them a completely different question. When measuring mountains there are many things to remember.
A: Meiosis is important because during sexual reproduction, it ensures that all produced organisms have the correct number of chromosomes. It is also responsible for producing genetic variations during the process of recombination, and it repairs some genetic defects.
Meiosis is a process by which we can halve the number of chromosomes. It takes place whenever the organism has to produce daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cells. In humans, meiosis occurs in spermatogonial and oogonial cells to produce sperms and eggs respectively. In higher plants which have a dominant diploid sphorophytic phase, the gametophytic phase is produced by meiosis. Meiosis occurs in almost all the higher living organisms.
