Solution: When two haploid cells called gametes combine during fertilization, a diploid zygote is created. In the absence of meiosis, two diploid gametes are generated, resulting in the creation of a tetraploid zygote. Number meiosis is essential for chromosomal conservation.
Comment on the statement – Meiosis enables the conservation of specific chromosome number of each species even though the process per se, results in a reduction of chromosome number.
