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.
The process of meiosis preserves genetic continuity for future offspring by ensuring that two sexually reproducing organisms produce offspring that have the same number of chromosomes as the parents. This is important for several reasons.itosis. The purpose of mitosis is to maintain continuity among cell progeny, meaning that if a tissue is made of thousands of cells that resulted from many mitosis events, each cell has the same number of genes as the original cell.
