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 I results in two cells that now have half the number of chromosomes, but those chromosomes are still duplicated. The role of meiosis II is to separate the duplicated chromosomes, resulting in four sex cells (gametes) with half the number of chromosomes (unduplicated) as the parent cell.
