Question

Meiosis is a reduction didvision and it helps keep the the number of choromosomes constant

in cells from generation to generation. (True/Flase)​

Answer 1

This is a reduction division in which the daughter cells receive exactly half the number of chromosomes of the mother cells. ... Meiosis thus makes it possible to maintain a constant number of chromosomes in a species that reproduces sexually by halving the number of chromosomes in the reproductive cells.

Answer 2

Answer:

Species-specific chromosome number is maintained generation after generation by meiosis. The meiosis is a kind of reductive division. When gametes are formed by meiosis, the number of chromosomes is halved. Hence each gamete will have only one pair of chromosome. Later the haploid gamete will fuse with the complementary haploid gamete and form a diploid zygote (2n). Hence the number of chromosomes are maintained.

So, the correct answer is 'Meiosis'.
