Which of the following is a benefit of meiosis?
A The generation of offspring with the exact genetic material of the parents ensures the offspring
are well-liked to their environment.
B. The independent assortment of alleles increases genetic diversity, which allows the species to
evolve.
C. The separation of chromatids in meiosis creates offspring with only the most desirable traits,
which increases the likelihood of species survival
D. The use of meiosis in reproduction allows for the rapid production of many offspring, which
