Significance of Meiosis

Question

All of the given are significance of meiosis, except

Easy

A

formation of gamete.
B

maintenance of chromosome number.
C

maintenance of cell size.
D

introduction of variation.

Solution

Mitosis maintains the size of the cell.
Meiosis is the mechanism by which conservation of specific chromosome number of each species is achieved across generations in sexually reproducing organisms, even though the process, per se, paradoxically, results in reduction of chromosome number by half. It also increases the genetic variability in the population of organisms from one generation to the next. Variations are very important for the process of evolution.
