Why does meiosis occur only in germ cells? |
|
Answer» ONG>Answer: Meiosis, from the Greek word meioun, meaning "to make small," REFERS to the specialized process by which germ cells divide to produce gametes. Because the chromosome number of a species REMAINS the same from one generation to the next, the chromosome number of germ cells MUST be reduced by half during meiosis. |
