This diagram summarizes sexual reproduction. Explain why meiosis rather than mitosis must be used to form the gametes needed for sexual reproduction.

Please fine the explanation below.

Explanation:

Meiosis and mitosis are the two types of cellular division that occurs in living organisms. However, meiosis is used strictly for sexual reproduction (to produce gametes) while mitosis is used for growth and repair. Meiosis is the process by which four daughter cells with a reduced number of chromosomes are produced.

Unlike meiosis, Mitosis produces two daughter cells with the same number of chromosome as parent cell. Meiosis must be used to form the gametes needed for sexual reproduction because it REDUCES THE CHROMOSOME NUMBER IN THE GAMETES BY HALF. THIS ALLOWS THAT WHEN TWO OF THE GAMETES (MALE AND FEMALE) COMBINE DURING FERTILIZATION, AN ORGANISM WITH CORRECT NUMBER OF CHROMOSOME WILL BE PRODUCED.

if you add everything up correctly you should get 69 i got this because 50 plus 19 is it

if the hares very faster than they are now, and thus the lynx's hunting success rate drops because it will be harder to catch them, the rate that will change will be the pray-rate. the pray-rate will change because more hares will be able to survive, thus more individuals for reproduction, so the end result will be increasing population of hares.

the predator-rate will remain pretty much the same because there will be more than enough pray, but the hunting success rate is stagnant.
