Notes on Significance Of Meiosis
Concepts Used:
Significance of Meiosis
- Meiosis is responsible for the genesis of sex cells or gametes that are responsible for sexual reproduction.
- It switches on or activates the genetic information for the development of sex cells and switches off or deactivates the sporophytic information.
- It sustains the constant number of chromosomes by halving the same. This is necessary because the chromosome number doubles after fertilization.
- The genetic mutation takes place due to irregularities in cell division by meiosis. The mutations that are advantageous are carried on by natural selection.
