Choose the correct statement with respect to meiosis.

Easy

A

Meiosis helps in maintaining constant chromosome number in every generation of sexually reproducing organisms.
B

Daughter cells of a meiotic division retain same chromosome number as that of parental cell.
C

Each chromosome of daughter cells of meiosis have two chromatids.
D

Meiosis contributes for growth and development of organisms

Solution

In sexually reproducing organisms, meiosis helps in maintaining same chromosome number in every generation. It helps in the formation of haploid cells from diploid cells which either directly or indirectly form haploid gametes. When the haploid gametes fuse, it results in the formation of diploid cell (usually zygote) which divides and forms a diploid organism.
