The significance of meiosis :-. 1. It maintains the same chromosome n umber in the sexually reproducing organisms. From a diploid cell, haploid gametes are produced which in turn fuse to form a diploid cell. 2. It restricts the multiplication of chromosome number and maintains the stability of the species. 3. Maternal and paternal genes get exchanged during crossing over.
