Meiosis is a type of cell division that forms new gametes in the sex cells, it takes place in the gonads and involves two stages meiosis I and meiosis II. It results to production of four haploid (n) daughter cells. Humans have 46 chromosomes which represents the diploid (n), therefore after meiosis the result is daughter cells with 23 chromosomes which is the haploid (n). Such that the gametes from the two parents are haploid, that is oocyte (n) and the spermatozoa (n), therefore when fertilization takes place we end up with a diploid zygote (2n). Therefore, Meiosis solves the numbering problem by production of haploid gametes to maintain the diploid number of species, generation after generation.

Answer:

Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelle like mitochondria and chloroplast which is used by eukaryotes to synthesize ATP but ATP synthesis also takes place in prokaryotes. The electron transport chain and ATP synthetase of prokaryotic cells are embedded in the cell's plasma membrane of the prokaryotes.

The ATP synthesis in prokaryotes is similar to eukaryotes. NADH releases electrons to the electron carriers that are embedded in the plasma membrane which causes the translocation of H+ ions to the cell membrane outer face against the concentration gradient.

Then these electrons pass through the ATP synthetase which generates ATP for prokaryotic cell. So cell membrane is the physical place where ETC and ATP synthetase are present.
