Question :Meiosis process play an important role in evolution of species.

Answer»

Solution : Due to crossing over that TAKES place during prophase - I of meiosis, exchange of genetic material takes place between HOMOLOGOUS chromosomes. So new complex of genes are formed and variation of characteristics is formed in offspring. Such variation PLAYS an important role in EVOLUTION of species.

Question : Meiosis is important for maintenance of specific number of chromosomes from generation to generation.

Answer»

Solution :The number of chromosomes is definite in all organisms of a SPECIES. It is generally diploid.
A new organism is formed by formation of zygote through FERTILIZATION of reproductive cells in living organisms.
Meiosis takes place during formation of reproductive gamete cells. So reproductive cells are haploid (n) and number of their chromosomes becomes half.
Reproductive cells having haploid chromosomes ATTACH and zygote forms in which chromosomes are haploid (2n).
Thus meiosis is important for maintenance of SPECIFIC / definite number of chromosomes from generation to generation.

Question : Meiosis is called reductional division.

Answer»

Solution : During meiosis, CHROMOSOMES are distributed in half NUMBER than original number in TWO cells. So it is called reductional division. Cells are converted from diploid (2n) to HAPLOID (n) form.
15057.

Question : Meiosis is also alled reductional division because it halves the chromosome number in the daughter cells than those in the parental cell. It is so as the parental cell divides twice, while the chromosomes duplicate only once. Mciosis is of three types on the basis of period and site of occurrence of metosis. Answer the following questions on meiosis: (i) Name the longest phase of meiosis-I and sequence of its subphase... (ii) Define crossing over. Give its significance, (in) State one difference between gametic meiosis and zygotic meiosis.

Answer»

Solution :(i)Longest phase of MEIOSIS-I is Prophase. Its subphases are: Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis.
(ii) CROSSING over is EXCHANGE of genes between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during pachytengstage of prophase-Iin the presence of recombinase enzyme. It causes RECOMBINATIONS of genes so produces variations.
(iii) Gametic meiosis occurs during gametogenesis in the gonads of animals except protozoans and produces haploid gametes, while zygotic meiosis occur during first division of zygote to LEAD to formation of haploid adult organism and is found in protozoans, algae and bryophytes.
