1.	What is the significance of meiosis?
Answer» Conservation of specific chromosome number of each species across generations is achieved by meiosis. Due to crossing over, the hereditary characters from male and female parents get mixed. So genetic variability in the population of organisms from one generation to the next occurs which is most important for the process of evolution. Gametes are produced by Meiosis. Meiosis results in reproduction and is similar among different organisms.
