Why is meiosis and gametogenesis always interlinked?

Answer 1

For maintenance of chromosomes number in subsequent generations.

Thank you. Without meiosis, chromosome numbers would increase in zygotes and each subsequent generation would have double the number of chromosomes compared to the previous generation. Meiosis is necessary during gametes formation to maintain chromosome numbers in the subsequent generations.

Meiosis is the process of cell division that produces gametes, which are specialized reproductive cells like sperm and egg cells. Gametogenesis is the development of these gametes. They are interlinked because meiosis is the specific type of cell division required to produce gametes with half the chromosome number of the parent cell, ensuring that when fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote has the correct number of chromosomes.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
