Core Concept

Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four non-identical daughter cells with a unique combination of genetic traits. The primary reason a cell would undergo meiosis is to increase genetic diversity and create genetic variation in a population. Options B and D are incorrect because meiosis is not a form of cell division that results in two daughter cells. Option C is incorrect because meiosis does not typically involve maintaining telomere length.
