Assertion: Variations are important for the process of evolution. Reason: Meiosis increases the genetic variability in the population of organisms from one generation ot the next.A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explantion of assertionB. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explnantion of assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Meiosis involves exhange of genes between homologous chormosomes. So, the gametes produced are genetically different from each other. Offspring produced by the fusion of gametes also show recombination of genetic variations. These variations in the offspring make organisms more adaptable to the enviroment and these have a definite role in evolution.
