1 answer

During meiosis, chromosome pairs separate and are distributed into new sex cells. This process results in the formation of four new sex cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. This is important for sexual reproduction, as it ensures that the offspring will have a combination of genetic material from both parents.
