At the end of a cell division, a cell prodeces four cells. Identify the type of cell division and mention its significance in evolution.

Explanation

The cell division in meiosis.
Significance of meiosis.
1. This maintains a definite constant number of chromosomes in organisms.
2. Crossing over takes place and exchange of genetic material leads to variations among species.
3. These variations are the raw materials to evolution.
4. Meiosis provides genetic variability by partitioning different combinations of genes into gametes through independent assortment.
5. Adaptation of organisms to various environmental stress.
