Question
which best illustrates the result of the process of meiosis?
a pea plant has the same flower color as its parent plants.
a daughter looks different from both her mother and her father.
a cheetah cub has very similar fur to its mother.
a labrador puppy looks exactly like its father.
Meiosis is a type of cell - division that leads to genetic variation. Offspring produced through sexual reproduction (involving meiosis) have a combination of genes from both parents, resulting in differences from their parents. A daughter looking different from both her mother and father is an example of genetic variation due to meiosis. The other options represent more cases of similarity or lack of genetic variation.
