Question

Comment on the statement "Meiosis enables the conservation of specific chromosome number of each species even though the process actually results in reduction of chromosome number ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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, perse, paradoxically, results in reduction of chromosome number by half. But fertilisation restores the chromosome number

Answer 2

Answer:

Meiosis is the mechanism by which conservation of specific chromosome number of each species is achieved across generations in sexually reproducing organism. Even though the process results in reduction of chromosome number by half, it is gradually conserved by union of male gamete (n) and female gamete (n) in next generation.

Meiosis also increases the genetic variability in the population of organsims from one generation to the next.
