Solution

The correct option is C
Meiosis ensures that each newly formed daughter cell receives the same number and kinds of chromosomes
Meiosis ensures that each newly formed daughter cell receives a different assortment of chromosomes. Meiosis is beneficial as it produces gametes that are genetically different to the parent cell, and when the gametes combine the offspring produced is made from a combination of genes from both mother and father.
