Which of the following explains why • the process of meiosis is important? • To make the identical cells characteristic • of asexual reproduction • It allows for offspring to have the correct • number of chromosomes following fertilization. • It increases the number of chromosomes • in a cell. More genetic information is a good thing • D. It decreases the variability in a species
A. To make the identical cells characteristic of asexual reproduction • Incorrect: Meiosis is a process which takes place in SEXUALLY reproducing organisms Return to the question
You Pass with Flying Colors • B. It allows for offspring to have the correct number of chromosomes following fertilization. • Correct: meiosis reducing the number of chromosomes in the sex cells to half the amount found in other cells of the body. When these sex cells (gametes) meet during fertilization, the correct number is restored. If this did not occur, the number of chromosomes would double in each generation. Return to the question
C. It increases the number of chromosomes in a cell. More genetic information is a good thing • Incorrect: See B above. Down’s Syndrome children have one extra chromosome. Having extra chromosomes is detrimental Return to the question
D. It decreases the variability in a species • Incorrect: Meiosis increases the variability by combining the traits from both parents Return to the question
