Importance of meiosis
The cells of the prokaryotes organisms can be replicated in two different ways. In the conventional process, known as mitosis, the daughter cells present copies of the entire genetic material of the original cell. On the other hand, in the particular mechanism called meiosis, genetic content is distributed among the daughter cells that result from only half of the original nuclear material. The importance of meiosis lies in the fact that it is the resource by which the gametes involved in sexual reproduction are produced. In fact, the usual somatic cells of all prokaryotes beings include, under normal conditions, genetic material that is duplicated, but not redundant. These cells are designated in conventional form as diploids, which is usually symbolized as 2n. In the meiosis process, the participating cells have two consecutive cell divisions, after which four cell elements are produced, including half of the initial genetic material. These final cells are called Haploids and a
