The chromosomal number is reduced to half in the daughter cells produc

1.	The chromosomal number is reduced to half in the daughter cells produced by meiosis. What happens if the number is not reduced to half in daughter cells? (OR) In Meiosis, the chromosome number in the daughter cells are reduced to half that of their parent cells. Guess, what would happen, if the reduction of chromosome number is not done.
Answer» 1. If the reduction of chromosomes number is not done, the chromosomal number is doubled in the offsprings. 2. The change in chromosomal number leads to development of abnormal characters in the individual. 3. The offspring differs from parental generation. 4. Abnormal characters will be formed in new generation, which are not useful for the existence of individual.
