Question

I sincerely request the expert to answer the following question ASAP:
Q) Why is Meiosis more important than Mitosis in the evolutionary term? (3)

Answer 1

Dear Student

Gametes for sexual reproduction shall be formed after meiosis because during meiosis the genetic material undergoes recombination and variations are produced which are very essential for evolution and increases the chances of survival.
Mitosis does not generate variations and hence is not favoured for production of gametes. No variations will be observed in case of offspring generated as a consequence of mitosis.
