Choose the odd one with respect to significance of meiosis
| 1. | Conservation of specific chromosome number of each species |
| 2. | Increases genetic variability |
| 3. | Able to regenerate part or whole of the organism |
| 4. | Introduces new combination of traits |
Mark the correct statement:
| 1. | The stage between two successive meiotic division is generally long lived |
| 2. | In plant cells, wall formation starts in the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls |
| 3. | Meiosis results in conservation of specific chromosomes number of each species across generations in asexually reproducing organisms |
| 4. | Telophase - I can last for months or year |
