(N/A) Gametogenesis is the process of formation of male and female gametes.
All gametes are haploid,meaning they possess a single set of chromosomes $(n)$.
These gametes are formed as a result of meiosis,which is a reductional division.
Meiosis reduces the chromosome number to half in the gametes,ensuring that the diploid number $(2n)$ is restored during fertilization.
Therefore,meiosis and gametogenesis are fundamentally interlinked.
