Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solutions for Which one is not a significance of meiosis division? a)Formation of spores and gametesb)New recombination of genesc)Number of chromosome remain samed)Number of chromosome reduced to halfCorrect answer is option ‘C’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis is responsible for the formation of sex cells or gametes that are responsible for sexual reproduction. It activates the genetic information for the development of sex cells and deactivates the sporophytic information. It maintains the constant number of chromosomes by halving the same.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis is important for three main reasons: it allows sexual reproduction of diploid organisms, it enables genetic diversity, and it aids the repair of genetic defects.
