What is the purpose final product of the process of meiosis?

The purpose of meiOSis is to produce gametes—sperm and egg cells—in sexually reproducing organisms. This process reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in haploid cells, which ensures genetic diversity through recombination and independent assortment. Ultimately, when two gametes fuse during fertilization, they restore the diploid chromosome number in the resulting zygote, enabling the development of a new organism.
