Meiosis ensures genetic diversity by creating haploid cells with unique combinations of chromosomes.
In certain organisms, such as fungi, haploids can undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores.
Meiosis helps maintain a stable chromosome number across generations by halving the number of chromosomes in gametes.
The process of meiosis involves two consecutive divisions, resulting in four non-identical haploid cells.
In spermatogenesis, primary spermatocytes reduce through meiosis to form haploid spermatids.
