Give scientific reason: Meiosis and gametogenesis are always interlinked.
(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.

$I.$ Meiosis involves pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination between them.
$II.$ Two diploid cells are formed at the end of meiosis-$II$.
$III.$ Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division called meiosis-$I$ and meiosis-$II$,but only a single cycle of $DNA$ replication.
$IV.$ Meiosis-$I$ is initiated after the parental chromosome replication which produces identical sister chromatids at the $S$-phase.
