Answer 1

Answer:

Genetic variation occurs.

Mutations are not copied over and over again.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that adds genetic variations in the progeny through the process of crossing over. These genetic variations impart a survival advantage to the population and prevent species extinction under unfavorable conditions. Since crossing over during meiosis produces new gene combinations, meiosis does not always allow transmission of mutation to the progeny. In this way, it helps to get rid of harmful mutations.
