Q. Assertion (A) Meiotic division occurs in reproductive cells.
Reason (R) As a result of meiosis, gametes are formed.

 396  146 Cell Cycle and Cell Division Report Error

Solution:

Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Meiotic division is a reductional division. It occurs in reproductive cells and maintains a fixed number of chromosomes in sexually reproducing organisms. During sexual reproduction, meiosis contributes to gametogenesis, as a result of which haploid gametes are formed.
