In multicellular plants and animals, however, meiosis is restricted to the germ cells, where it is key to sexual reproduction. Whereas somatic cells undergo mitosis to proliferate, the germ cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (the sperm and the egg).
I'm thinking true heres why lets say you have a bird and the bird eats worms.. and all the worms in the world are gone the bird will die and what ever animal ate that bird will die and what ever animal ate that bird will die and so on
my guess
