    Explain why meiosis and gametogenesis are always interlinked?

    Answer:

    Gametogenesis refers to the process of formation of two types of gametes - male and female. Gametes are haploid cells. Gametes in all heterogametic species are of two types i.e., male and female. A haploid parent produced gametes by mitosis. But in majority of organisms, parent body is diploid. Thus meiosis is required by such diploid organisms, to produce haploid gametes. In diploid organisms, meiocytes undergo meiosis. At the end of meiosis only one set of chromosome gets incorporated into each gamete.
