Answer:
Please fine the explanation below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Meiosis and mitosis are the two types of cellular division that occurs in living organisms. However, meiosis is used strictly for sexual reproduction (to produce gametes) while mitosis is used for growth and repair. Meiosis is the process by which four daughter cells with a reduced number of chromosomes are produced.
Unlike meiosis, Mitosis produces two daughter cells with the same number of chromosome as parent cell. Meiosis must be used to form the gametes needed for sexual reproduction because it REDUCES THE CHROMOSOME NUMBER IN THE GAMETES BY HALF. THIS ALLOWS THAT WHEN TWO OF THE GAMETES (MALE AND FEMALE) COMBINE DURING FERTILIZATION, AN ORGANISM WITH CORRECT NUMBER OF CHROMOSOME WILL BE PRODUCED.
