Which of the following best describes how the process of meiosis helps preserve genetic continuity from one generation to the next?
A.
Daughter cells produced during meiosis contain more genetic information than their parent cell, and not all of the genetic information present came from the parent cell.
B.
Daughter cells produced during meiosis contain less genetic information than their parent cell, but not all of this genetic information came from the parent cell.
C.
Although daughter cells produced during meiosis contain less genetic information than their parent cell, all the genetic information they contain came from the parent cell.
D.
Although daughter cells produced during meiosis contain more genetic information than their parent cell, all the genetic information they contain was duplicated from the parent cell.

D.

Although daughter cells produced during meiosis contain more genetic information than their parent cell, all the genetic information they contain was duplicated from the parent cell.

Explanation:

The cells in our bodies contain 23 pairs of chromosomes - giving us 46 chromosomes in total. Sperm cells and egg cells contain 23 single chromosomes, half the normal number, and are made by a special form of cell division called meiosis.

Meiosis separates the pairs of matching (or 'homologous') chromosomes, so that sperm cells and egg cells have only one copy of each. That way, when an egg cell fuses with a sperm cell, the fertilised egg has a full set: that is, two copies of every chromosome.

Meiosis involves two cell divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

Meiosis I separates the matching - or 'homologous' - pairs of chromosomes.

Meiosis II divides each chromosome into two copies (much like mitosis).

In Meiosis I, each daughter cell receives a mix of chromosomes from the two sets in the parent cell. In addition, the chromosomes in each matching pair swap some genetic material before they are parted in a process called crossing over. These processes produce new combinations of genes in the sperm cells and egg cells

please mark me as brainliest :)
