Meiosis’s main purpose is to make sex cells (sperm and eggs). It does two big things:
- It cuts the number of chromosomes in half so when a sperm and egg join, the baby gets the right number.
- It mixes up genes so each sex cell is different, which makes children different from their parents and from each other.
In short: meiosis makes half-size, different sex cells so life can keep going and change over time.
