Q. In meiosis, the daughter cells differ from parent cell as well as amongst themselves due to

Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Solution:

In meiosis, the daughter cells differ from parent cell as well as amongst themselves due to segregation, independent assortment and crossing over. Meiosis leads to recombinations or new combinations of genes or characters as a result of crossing over. Due to these recombinations, variations are created. These variations in the offsprings make organisms more adaptable to the environment and these have a definite role in evolution.
