Meiosis is significant for sexually reproducing organisms.
Suppose ,2x chromosomes are present in a organism
if the organism reproduce directly then 2x+2x=4x. This could lead to abnormality.
Thus making the chromosome number half, we can make offspring normal with same set of chromosomes as parent.
2x+2x/2=2x

☞ Its also increases the genetic variability in the population of organisms from one generation to next.
☞ Variations are very important for the process of evolution.
