The overall function of meiosis includes all of the following EXCEPT __________________________________________. Group of answer choices gamete production 2N to N cells (chromosome number reduction) providing genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms body growth and cell replacement
Added by Mar-A J.
Step 1
- Meiosis is primarily involved in the production of gametes (sperm and eggs) in sexually reproducing organisms. - It involves a reduction in chromosome number from 2N (diploid) to N (haploid), ensuring that the offspring receive the correct number of chromosomes Show more…

Which of the following is not a function of meiosis? A) cause an organism to grow B) create genetic variability C) reduce the chromosome number in gametes D) produce gametes E) produce offspring that are genetically different from the parent
Nagamalla R.
Role of Meiosis (Keyboard Navigable Alternate Version) Complete the following paragraph describing the role of meiosis. a. Sexual reproduction involves the use of specialized egg cells or sperm cells called gametes. b. This means that gametes only contain one copy of each chromosome. c. Unlike mitosis, meiosis reduces the chromosome number of the daughter cells from diploid to haploid. d. It also produces a haploid egg. e. Therefore, when the alleles of a particular gene are passed on to their descendants via gametes, a haploid sperm fertilizes a haploid egg.
