How does the significance of meiosis maintained the chromosome number?

No. Meiosis results in halving of chromosome number. Chromosome number after one round of meiosis is half that of original chromosome number. Generally, meiosis takes place during gamete formation. So when two gametes fuse, they lead to restoration of the chromosome number. Hence chromosome number can be maintained in sexually reproducing organisms.


A situation in which chromosome number can be represented as either 2n plus 1 or 2n-1 is called?

A situation in which the chromosome number can be represented as either 2n plus 1 or 2n-1 is called aneuploidy. Aneuploidy refers to an abnormal number of chromosomes, either an extra or a missing chromosome, compared to the normal diploid number. This can lead to genetic disorders and developmental abnormalities.
