Select all that apply. meiosis maintains chromosome number throughout generations causes genetic recombination is employed in maintenance causes genetic variation regulates environmental effects on the organism

Answer

Explanation;

-Meiosis is a type of cell division which in which cells involved divides into four daughter cells which have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cells.

-Meiosis is important as it results to genetic variation in organisms through the process of cross over, in which genetic materials are exchanged by the homologous chromosomes, where segments of chromosome are exchanged by non-sister chromatids.

-Additionally, meiosis results to genetic recombination as a result of pairing of homologous chromosomes. This takes place when two molecules of DNA exchange their genetic material with one other.
