INTRODUCTION
Biology refers to the nature science discipline that is about the study of living things. It is
extremely wide and broad field because of their wide variety of life experiences found over the
earth (Ding and et.al., 2019). It has been categorized into certain parts and the report is based
upon the human biology. Later this report will highlight the biological significance of meiosis
and explaining the inheritance pattern.
MAIN BODY
(a) Biological significance of meiosis
Meiosis is a kind of separation of cells that trim down the figure of chromosomes into the
parent cell by dividing into part and manufacture four gamete cells. This procedure is required in
order to reproduce eggs and sperm group for sexual imitation. Meiosis can be further divided
into nine stages It has been primarily divided as Meiosis I and the second time it divides into
Meiosis II (Haars, 2019). The outcome of the Meiosis is the configuration of four daughter cells
in each cycle of cell division. The daughter cells are exactly indistinguishable to the mother cells
in figure and dimension but diversified into chromosome numbers.
The recombination and segregation takes place into the meiosis. This is the progression
which occurs into the reproductive organs and result into the creation of gametes. The organic
significance of meiosis is that it is answerable for the configuration of sex cells or gametes that
are accountable for sexual reproduction. This stimulates the genetic in sequence for the
expansion of sex cells and neutralizes the sporophytic cognition. It helps to maintain consistent
number of chromosomes by dividing the same. It is significant as the number has been doubled
after fertilization. Within this course, self-governing collection of paternal and maternal
chromosome takes place. Thus, the chromosomes as well as attribute has been reshuffled which
are inhibited by them. The hereditary alteration occurs because if irregularities in cell division
by meiosis. Moreover, the crossing over produces an advanced mixture of variations and traits.

(b) Description over inheritance pattern along with examples of genetic conditions
Inheritance pattern is a way which illustrates or described the ways through which a
disorder passes from parents to children. Single gene disorder have diversified modes of
inheritance. With the help of identifying pedigree, the genotypes, phenotypes and prediction
over traits that will be passed on in the future has been evaluated (Casanova and Abel, 2018).
This also able to provide knowledge about the ways in which definite alleles are inherited
whether they are recessive, dominant, sex linked and autosomal.
