Why is meiosis important to sexually reproducing organisms?

Biology
1 answer:
Galina-37 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Meiosis is important for organisms that reproduce sexually because it is the cell division that serves to obtain gametes or sex cells.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a reductive cell division, involved in the gametogenesis process, where from a diploid cell haploid cells called gametes are obtained.

The gametes, also called sex cells, are responsible for containing the genetic information that each individual will transfer to their offspring.

In sexual reproduction, the importance of gametes is that the paternal and maternal gametes unite in a process called fertilization, to give rise to a diploid cell called a zygote.

Each atom of the element argon has 18 electrons. How many chemical bonds is one atom of argon likely to make with atoms of other
densk [106]
It won't. Argon is an element found in the Group 8A also called as the noble gases. They are called as such because they do not react with other elements because their electronic configuration is very stable. This is because they already obey the Octet rule, which has to do with eight electrons occupying around the element. So, it is very rare to have reaction involving any of the noble gases.
