Meiosis produces cells (germ cells or gametes) with only half the DNA, or chromosomes, as normal cells (somatic cells). This is called haploid or referred to as "n" number of chromosomes. Normal body cells have doubke that, called "2n," or diploid. For humans our n = 23, so germ cells (haploid) have only 23 chromosomes, while somatic (normal body) cells have "2n" or 46 chromosomes. It is important to only carry half the number of chromosomes or DNA (n), because it is going to combine with another half (n) when sperm meets egg during fertilization. This n + n = 2n restores the diploid number of chromosomes (DNA) in a zygote, the first cell of a future embryo, fetus, and new human being.

B) The mutation is beneficial and allows those who have it to reproduce more than average.


If the mutation is beneficial, it will become common in a population since the individual(s) that have this beneficial mutation will survive longer to produce more offspring that have this mutation. These offspring will also live longer and spread this mutation through the gene pool through reproduction.


Hope this helps :)
