THE SIGNIFICANCE OF MEIOSIS

Meiosis is a type of cell division that takes place during the creation of sex cells. During
meiosis, the chromosome number is decreased by half. This is to ensure that the zygote
receives the exact number of chromosomes during fertilization. The creation of germ cells or
gametes is referred to as gametogenesis. These gametes are used for sexual reproduction.

Meiosis functions for the proper conditioning of cells inside the gonads in preparation
for reproduction and for genetic diversity among organisms. However, the basic function of
meiosis is to maintain the standard number of chromosomes of the organism or species after
the union of sex cells during fertilization. This is possible when the division and the reduction
of chromosome number of gametes from diploid (2N) to haploid (N) occurs.

If there is no meiosis, reproduction among sexually producing creatures will never

occur. Production of offspring would stop and eventually, no more future generations. The
earth will suffer the extinction of most species among multicellular eukaryotes.

Meiosis may not always proceed normally. Problems during meiosis sometimes happen
and cause great harm during embryonic development. Accidents like miscarriages, genetic
errors, and birth defects may occur. These accidents may affect the movement of the
chromosomes and the functioning of the spindle fibers.
