What is importance of prophase I meiosis |
| Answer» - Meiosis is responsible for the formation of the gametes, responsible for sexual reproduction.- It activates the genetic information for the development of gametes.- It reduces the number of chromosomes to half in gametes cells and helps in maintaining the constant number of chromosomes. This is important because the chromosome number doubles after fertilization.- In this process an independent assortment of maternal and paternal chromosomes takes place. Thus the chromosomes and the traits controlled by them are reshuffled.- The genetic mutation occurs due to irregularities in cell division by meiosis and gives rise to new varieties. | |
