Solution

Answer=

Given the end results of the two types of division, why is it necessary for homologs to pair during meiosis and not desirable for them to pair during mitosis because =

Meiosis allows for genetic diversity & gene recombination.

In meosis daughter cells contains half the chromosome number as that of parent cells

i.e chromosome number reduced to half

Meosis needs to cut half of the number of chromosomes in division to reduce the number of chromosomes in half to produce sex cells .

If this occured in mitosis cell growth & repair identical cells for repair would not happen but a new combination of halved cells would produced not producing similar Or viable cells for growth & repair

Mitosis = goal is to produce clone cells & not to produce new cells

In case of mitosis the daughter cells contain the chromosome number same as that of parent cell

i.e. they retain same chromosome number
