Why is meiosis important

Meiosis is important because it helps to sexually reproduce offsprings with diploid number of chromosomes and enables genetic diversity in a population. Without meiosis, gametogenesis (production of new gametes) can not occur.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which parents' cells undergoes division twice to produce four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parents. In meiosis, a diploid cell undergoes division to produce a haploid cell and two haploid cells combine to form a diploid offspring. Meiosis occurs in sex cells or gametes. The crossing over of genes that occurs in meiosis allows the combination of the two parental (paternal and maternal) genes resulting in an offspring in which either of these genes is expressed

the types of mutations include: missense mutation: this type of mutation is a change in one dna base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene. nonsense mutation: a nonsense mutation is also a change in one dna base pair.

explanation:

a. seed plant structure. 1. the three main plant organs are roots, stems, and leaves. a fourth kind of tissue, meristematic tissue, is responsible for plant growth. meristematic tissue is the only plant tissue that produces new cells by mitosis. plants can lose water out of their leaves as they exchange gases with the air
