How do the differences between cells produced by meiosis and mitosis lead to changes in the next generation?
A. Chromosomes in the next generation will be less stable because crossovers will occur during meiosis but not mitosis.
B. Because meiosis produces fewer viable cells than mitosis, organisms made with cells from meiosis will be less healthy.
C. The next generation will have smaller cells because cells produced by meiosis have smaller cell membranes than cells produced by mitosis.
D. The next generation will have greater genetic variation because,unlike mitosis cells, meiosis cells are randomly fertilized, and chromosomes are independently assorted.
Ans: D. The next generation will have greater genetic variation because,unlike mitosis cells, meiosis cells are randomly fertilized, and chromosomes are independently assorted.
