Answer:
Reduction division (meiosis) is associated
with sexual reproduction. The reasons are
(i) Since, sexual reproduction involves
the fusion of two types of gametes male and female), they must have haploid
number of chromosomes.
(ii) The cell (meiocyte) which
gives rise to gametes often has diploid number of chromosomes and it is only by
reducing the number by half that we can get haploid gametes.
(iii) Reduction division also
ensures maintenance of constancy of chromosome number from generation to
generation.
