Meosis occurs only during reproduction....If cell division can be considered as reproduction, why do the cells divide by mitosis?? |
|
Answer» Because the chromosome number of a species remains the same from one generation to the next, the chromosome number of germ cells must be REDUCED by half during meiosis. To accomplish this feat, meiosis, unlike mitosis, INVOLVES a single round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division |
