Each, parent cells divides to form four daughter cells and the daughte, cell have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cel,, Meiosis takes place in two consecutive divisions:, , (a) Meiosis | (b) Meiosis II, Importance of Meiosis, (a) It is responsible for production of gametes in Sexually, reproducing organisms. The offsprings are formed by Fusion, of gametes. So, the reduced chromosome number in gamete, ensure the chromosome number in offspring is Maintained, (b) It increases variation in the genetic material.
