in the process of meiosis the new cells have half the dna of the original cell why is this important to life HELP PLEASE THIS IS DUE IN 1 MINUTE

the meiosis is a process of cell division through which haploid cells are formed, it generally occurs during formation of gametes ( sex cells ) it is very important, because each parent contribute half number of chromosomes to the offspring, and that's the reason we have same number of chromosomes as our parents

( hence maintains the numbers of chromosomes in offspring )

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. During meiosis one cell divides twice to form four daughter cells.

This is because meiosis creates cells that are destined to become gametes (or reproductive cells), this reduction in chromosome number is critical — without it, the union of two gametes during fertilization would result in offspring with twice the normal number of chromosomes to make a human child.

an adaptation is a change or process by which an organism takes to be better suited for its environment. for example; migration is a behavioral adaptation, this is needed because birds are not built to last extremely cold climates. there are different adaptations because there are different species needing to adjust to different things, bears don't migrate; they hibernate.
