reproductive process​

Respuesta :

Answer: Meiosis ensures that gametes have half the number of chromosomes as parent cells.

Explanation:

I just took the quiz

The significance of meiosis in gametogenesis is that it ensures that gametes have half the number of chromosomes as parent cells.

What is meiosis?

  • "It is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells."

What is gametogenesis?

  • "It is the process of division of diploid cells to produce new haploid cells."
  • In humans two types of gametes are present. Male gamete is called sperm and female gamete is called egg or ova.
  • After fertilization (fusion of two gametes) the total number of chromosomes (23 pairs) is retained.

Hence, the correct option is B.) Meiosis ensures that gametes have half the number of chromosomes as parent cells.
