### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Meiosis**: - Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the formation of haploid cells (gametes). - It is often referred to as "reductional division" because it reduces the diploid (2n) chromosome number to haploid (n). 2. **Role in Sexual Reproduction**: - In sexual reproduction, meiosis is crucial for producing gametes (sperm and eggs). ...
