Explain why meiosis and gametogenesis are always interlinked?
Explanation Meiosis is a type of cell division in which the cell undergoes two successive divisions and forms four cells each containing half the number of chromosomes as that of the parent cell. Gametogenesis is a process of formation of gametes. During gamete formation, meiocytes (diploid) have to undergo meiosis to form the gametes (haploid). This is the reason why meiosis and gametogenesis are always interlinked. Final Answer Formation of gametes always require meiocytes to undergo meiosis. This is because The cells of an organism are diploid but to form gametes the cell has to undergo meiosis in which 2 successive cell divisions form a haploid cell. Meiosis also maintains the number of chromosomes generation after generation.
