Which of the following is INCORRECT regarding meiosis?Select one:O a. It provides for genetic variation in the offspring.O b. It occurs in most body cells at some time during the life of the individual.O c. It keeps the chromosome number constant from generation to generation.O d. It occurs only in species of organism that have sexual reproduction.O e. It halves the chromosome number in reproductive cells.

Meiosis is one of the cell division methodologies that is generally found in sexually reproducing organisms which is responsible for producing the haploid gametes that fuse during fertilization to create a diploid zygote.Meiosis is the type of cell division that occurs only in reproductive cells of sexually reproducing organisms. It produces haploid cells. Meiosis does not occur in most body cells which are diploid.Statement a - correct - Meiosis provide for genetic variation in offspring through crossing over and random assortment of chromosomes.Statement b - incorrect - It occurs only in reproductive cells not in all body cells.Statement c - correct - Meiosis keeps the chromosome number constant because it produces haploid gametes which fuse to form diploid through fertilization.Statement d - correct - Meiosis occurs only in species that reproduce through sexual methods.Statement e - correct - Meiosis halves the chromosome in reproductive cells. It produces haploid gametes.Therefore, the correct option b (It occurs in most body cells at some time during the life of the individual)
