Because meiosis only has half of the genes.

In mitosis, the cell produced will have an exact number of chromosome like the parent cells. But in meiosis, only half of the chromosome will be given. That will make many variations since the chromosome is split in random. The process to split the gene doesn't include a process to making it move in the same manner so the gene position can be changed in the different case.

Anton [14]

Answer:

the conversion of sunlight energy into chemical energy

the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protist use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar

Explanation:

<em>Photosynthesis is a process during which the energy present in the sun is converted into chemical energy and locked up in an organic compound. The energy from the sun is trapped by the chlorophyll - a compound found in green plants, some bacteria, and some protists - and utilized to synthesize sugar along with inorganic materials such as carbon dioxide and water. </em>

The entire process of photosynthesis consists of multiple steps whose chemical equation can be summarised below:

6CO_2 + 6H_2O + sunlight ------> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2
