Explain why meiosis and gametogenesis are always interlinked?

(N/A) Meiosis is a process of reductional division in which the amount of genetic material is reduced.
Gametogenesis is the process of the formation of gametes.
Gametes produced by organisms are haploid (containing only one set of chromosomes),while the body of an organism is typically diploid.
Therefore,to produce haploid gametes (gametogenesis),the germ cells of an organism must undergo meiosis.
During this process,the meiocytes of an organism undergo two successive nuclear and cell divisions with a single cycle of $DNA$ replication to form the haploid gametes.
