The process of meiosis produces gametes, egg or sperm, that participate in sexual reproduction. Although DNA is replicated during meiosis, as in mitosis, we can see that meiosis and thus, sexual reproduction enhances genetic variation rather than genetic sameness because
A) the chromosome number of the gametes is haploid rather than diploid.
B) genetic errors or mutations are more likely to be evident during meiosis.
C) the nuclei in each gamete resulting from meiosis are not genetically identical.
D) meiosis produces four daughter cells rather than two as is the case in mitosis.
