Which statement is incorrect regarding significance of meiosis
Meiosis is a process which leads to variations from one generation to the next which is important for the evolution of species.
Meiosis results in reduction of chromosome number by half in sexually reproducing organisms.
Gamete formation is possible due to meiosis only.
Meiosis varies the chromosome number in a generation.
Meiosis is a process by which conversation of specific chromosome number of every species is achieved across generations in sexually reproducing organisms, the meiosis results in reduction of chromosome number by half.
It also increases the genetic variation in the population of organisms from one generation to another or next generation. Variations are very important for the process of evolution.
The Gamete formation is possible due to meiosis because at the end of meiosis there are 4 daughter cells which are haploid in nature.
In the generation meiosis maintains a constant number of chromosomes.
Option 4 is the correct answer.
