**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 gametes (sperm and egg cells in humans). It involves two rounds of division: meiosis I and meiosis II. 2. **Types of Meiosis**: There are three main types of meiosis: - **Gametic Meiosis**: This occurs in animals and leads to the formation of gametes. - **Zygotic Meiosis**: This occurs in some organisms where the zygote undergoes meiosis to produce haploid cells. - **Sporic Meiosis**: This is an intermediate type of meiosis that occurs in plants, leading to the formation of spores. ...

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.
