Haploid describes a cell that contains a single set of chromosomes. Gametes are haploid cells , and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome

5. SIGNIFICANCE OF MEIOSIS 2. produces genetic variation by way of the process of recombination .

6. SINIFICANCE OF MEIOSIS 3. this type of cell division is important for the growth and tissue repair

7. SIGNIFICANCE OF MEIOSIS 4. It reduces the number of chromosomes to half in gametes cells and helps in maintaining the constant number of chromosomes.
