Answer:

Doubles the amount of DNA and reduces the chromosome number from 2N to N.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a cell division in which one cell divides into 2 cells in the first meiotic division and then these two cells divide into two more cells so overall 4 cells are produced from one cell. This division occurs in gamete cells.

First, the amount of DNA gets double by converting the single-stranded DNA into double-stranded DNA. Then the homologous chromosomes get separated into two different cells in the first meiotic division and till now the chromosome number is 2N.  

After the second meiotic division, each sister chromatids of a chromosome gets separated into separate cells and the chromosome number in daughter cells becomes 1 N. So the major role of meiosis is to double the DNA mount and reduce the chromosome number by half in all daughter cells.

Nikolay [14]
Hello! ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, and ADP stands for adenosine diphosphate. The difference between the two molecules is that ATP has three phosphate group, and ADP has two phosphate groups. ATP is an unstable molecule, which means it will release energy when it becomes reduced to ADP, meaning it will break off one of its phosphate groups. Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any questions! ^-^
