Meiosis ensures the transmission of traits from one generation to the next. At the same time, it is a key process that introduces genetic variation into the traits that offspring inherit from their parents. In this tutorial, you will explore the genetic context of meiosis.

The question is incorrect so the answer consists of the genetic context of meiosis.

Answer:

Two main types of cell division are mitosis and meiosis. Meiosis is the process of cell cycle division in which the parents cell divides into the four daughter cells. This division is also known as reductional division.

In meiosis, the gametes are haploid where as the parent cell is diploid in nature. The cell undergoes the two meiosis division, the first division is reductional in nature whereas the second meiosis division is same as the mitotic division. This division occurs in the sex cells and results in the formation of haploid gamete hat restores deiploidy during fertilization process. Crossing over during meiosis bring variation in the cells.
