Meiosis is important for organisms since it allows for genetic variation among organisms.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>Cell division</h3>
- Cell division is the process in which cells undergo division to form other new cells.
- There are two types of cell division;
<h3>Mitosis Division </h3>
- Mitosis is a type of division in which a parent cell undergoes division to yield two daughter cells that are similar to the parent cells.
- The daughter cells have equal number of chromosomes as the parent and are identical to the parent.
- This type of cell division normally occurs in somatic cells of organisms and facilitates growth and development of organisms.
<h3>Meiosis division</h3>
- Meiosis division is a type of division that occurs in gamete cells where a parent cell divides into four daughter cells that differ from the parent cells in terms of the number of chromosomes.
- In meiosis the daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cells.
- Meiosis occurs in the gamete cells and facilitates sexual reproduction in living organisms.
- Meiosis occurs in two phases, that is, meiosis I and meiosis II
- During the process of meiosis several processes occurs that cause genetic variation among organisms.
- These processes include, crossing over, independent assortment of genes, among others.
<h3>Crossing over </h3>
- Cross over is the process that occurs during the prophase I phase of the first stage of meiosis known as meiosis I.
- During the process of crossing over, genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes which enhances the genetic variation in organisms.

Fascilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport because a protein carrier helps pass a substance through the cell membrane. No energy is required to do this, which is why it is passive. (Active transport involves the expenditure of energy).
Answer:
All the offspring have genotype RrTt
Phenotype is Pink and tall snapdragon
Explanation:
Given
Tallness ( T) is dominant to dwarfness (t)
Red (R) flower color is dominant to white (r)
It is given that heterozygous condition results in pink (Rr) flower color which means that the allels for color of flower show co dominance
Genotype of dwarf red snapdragon is RRtt
Genotype of a plant homozygous for tallness and white flowers is rrTT
The punnet square representing the cross between RRtt and rrTT is as given below-
Rt Rt Rt Rt
rT RrTt RrTt RrTt RrTt
rT RrTt RrTt RrTt RrTt
rT RrTt RrTt RrTt RrTt
rT RrTt RrTt RrTt RrTt
Thus all the offspring have genotype RrTt
Phenotype is Pink and tall snapdragon
