Solution: Meiosis is a cell division process that results in the halving of the number of chromosomes, resulting in the creation of gametes. In pachytene (prophase I, meiosis I), the crossing over results in the introduction of variation. Hence, the correct answer is (d).
Meiosis results in diploid organisms
a. Production of gametes
b. Reduction in the number of chromosomes
c. Introduction of variation
d. all of the above
a. Production of gametes
b. Reduction in the number of chromosomes
c. Introduction of variation
d. all of the above
