Meiosis takes place in sexual reproduction and genetic variations takes place in sexual reproduction. Genetic variations lead to evolution to new species.

Meiosis aids in evolution because it does what?
Meiosis is when the male gene and the female gene combine chromosomes to make a child or offspring. This increases the diversity of genes in an individual, and allows that diversity to spread through the population, thus effecting evolution.
What are the two distinct stages of meiosis?
Meiosis I and meiosis II
The process that produces haploid sex cells?
Meiosis
What Process results in the formation of gametes?
Gametes are produced by a type of cell division called meiosis. Meiosis results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
How is meiosis related to genes?
Meiosis allows a cell to form into 4 cells (by meiosis 1 (which is literally mitosis) and meiosis 2 (mitosis without DNA replication)) in meiosis 1, the cells exchanges DNA information between homologous pairs, this allows genes to be transferred and creates 4 unique and distinct cells. segragation of alleles occur too.
How is meiosis benificial to the evolution of a species by natural selection?
Meiosis produces new varieties .
How does meiosis aid in evolution?
contributes to genetic variation.
How is meiosis beneficial to the evolution of a species by natural selection?

Why do plants need meiosis?
Meiosis occurs in the reproductive cells to form male and female gametes. For sexual reproduction meiosis is essential. Genetic advance is achieved by crossing over in chromosomes during meiosis, hence meiosis helps in evolution of races in plants.Meiosis occurs in the reproductive cells to form male and female gametes.

In the process of meiosis which step explains the probability that a particular allele will be in a gamete?
k
What is the significance of the reduction in the chromosomes number during meiosis?
Ya mum.
Which statement is true about meiosis Meiosis is a process that duplicates and divides the nuclear contents only?
i really dont know

Which statement correctly describes how cellular DNA content and ploidy levels change during meiosis you and meiosis II?
DNA content is halved in both meiosis I and meiosis II. Ploidy level changes from diploid to haploid in meiosis I, and remains haploid in meiosis II.
Wich statement is true of both mitosis and meiosis?
DNA replication occurs before the division of the nucleus.
What things do not contribute greatly to evolution?
one of these, chromosome number, crossing over, meiosis, or random mating
Which statement is FALSE concerning gametes produced by meiosis?
Gametes will only drive 16 wheelers.
