Meiosis is important for sexual reproduction because it ensures that all organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes.

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.
