Why is meiosis referred to as a process of cell reduction

Because in meiosis the number of chromosomes becomes half.

Explanation:

Meiosis is called reductional division because in meiosis the number of chromosomes gets half in daughter cells after cell division.

Meiosis takes place in gametic cells. In meiosis four haploid cells are produced from one diploid mother cells. Two cell division takes place in meiosis. During the first cell division, the chromosome number gets half due to the separation of a homologous chromosome which makes the daughter cell haploid.

Therefore as chromosome number in daughter cell becomes half so meiosis is referred to as a process of cell reduction.

hey bro i looked it up on google the structure of the eye-spot in euglena viridie, e. ehrenbergii, and phacus pyriyorme is not as franzé haa described it. the so-called “crystal body” and “lens bodies” were not found in any of the individuals of the species examined by me. as earlier observers have stated, the eye-spot consists simply of a mass of pigment granules arranged in a single layer, and probably embedded in a protoplasmic framework, but the latter could not be seen, and its presence was only inferred from the fact that the pigment granules must be held together in some way, thd the eye-spot as a whole is capable of expansion, and that the pigment granules can be separated from each other.
