Options

B.four daughter cellseggs and sperms
C.eggs and sperms
D.recombinations
Solution
Meiosis maintains the chromosome number constant. It produces haploid gametes by Crossing over produces new combination of liked genes and is major source of genetic variation. Also, distribution of bivalents which is at random in metaphase - I provides the secondry source of genetic variation in the organisms and is essential for sprciation and evolution .
