**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 four haploid cells from one diploid cell. It consists of two main stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. 2. **Defining Meiosis I:** - Meiosis I is the first stage of meiosis where homologous chromosomes are separated. This stage is crucial for reducing the chromosome number from diploid (2n) to haploid (n). ...

Assertion.Meiosis-I is called heterotypic(reduction)division. Reason.It halves the chromosome number in the daughter cells.

Write true or false for the following. Meiosis-I division is called as heterotypic or reduction division.

Assertion: Meiosis II is known as equational or homotypic division. Reason: Meiosis II produces same number of chromosome in cell.

Meiosis is also alled reductional division because it halves the chromosome number in the daughter cells than those in the parental cell. It is so as the parental cell divides twice, while the chromosomes duplicate only once. Mciosis is of three types on the basis of period and site of occurrence of metosis. Answer the following questions on meiosis: (i) Name the longest phase of meiosis-I and sequence of its subphase... (ii) Define crossing over. Give its significance, (in) State one difference between gametic meiosis and zygotic meiosis.

Which of the following is called heterotypic division :-

[A]: The first meiotic division is known as heterotypic division. [R]: The first division in meiosis results in reduced number of chromosomes.

Assertion: Mitotic cell division is also called equatoral division. Number of chromosomes in the parent and progeny cells is the same in mitosis
