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 where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information.These cells are our sex cells â sperm in males, eggs in females.1  During meiosis one cell divides twice to form four daughter cells. 2  These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell â they are haploid. 3  Meiosis produces our sex cells or gametes (eggs in females and sperm in males).hese cells are our sex cells â sperm in males, eggs in females. 1  During meiosis one cell divides twice to form four daughter cells. 2  These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell â they are haploid. 3  Meiosis produces our sex cells or gametes (eggs in females and sperm in males).
