Question

Which one ensures maintainance of chromosome number from generation to generation?

• A. Mitosis
• B. Meiosis
• C. Splicing
• D. Metamorphosis

Answer 1

The correct option is B Meiosis

Meiosis occurs in the life cycle of all organisms that reproduce sexually. In meiosis, four daughter cells are produced, each with one member of each homologous pair of the chromosomes of the parent cell, known as the haploid (n) state. Meiosis ensures the maintenance of the chromosome number in body cells from generation to generation. It is a source of variation.

So, the correct answer is option B.
