Question

question 3
meiosis is a form of nuclear division that ____.
a is common to asexual life cycles
b does not require fertilization to follow
c prevents evolution
d halves the genetic material

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell - division for sexual reproduction. It results in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, thus halving the genetic material. Asexual life - cycles involve mitosis, not meiosis. Meiosis is often followed by fertilization in sexual reproduction. Genetic variation from meiosis actually contributes to evolution.

Answer:

D. halves the genetic material
