Question
intro to meiosis
why do organisms do meiosis?
a. to make more skin and muscle cells in their bodies.
b. to make gametes (egg and sperm).
c. just for fun.
d. all of the above.
Brief Explanations
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the formation of gametes (egg and sperm). Skin and muscle cells are made through mitosis, not meiosis. Option C is not a valid scientific reason. Since only option B is correct, option D (all of the above) is incorrect.
