Which statement is not an accurate description of meiosis? a) meiosis produces offspring that are genetically diverse. b) meiosis produces offspring that are identical to the parent. c) in sexual reproduction half of the genetic material comes from the father (sperm) and half of the genetic material comes from the mother (egg). d) meiosis decreases the number of chromosomes by half so that when a sperm fertilizes an egg, the resulting zygote has the correct number of chromosomes.

The inaccurate description of meiosis is statement B, that is, meiosis produces offspring that are similar to the parent.  

A specialized kind of cell division, which decreases the number of the chromosome by half, producing four haploid cells, each genetically different from the parent cell, from which they have originated is known as meiosis. The process of meiosis takes place in all the sexually reproducing multicellular and single-celled eukaryotes, like plants, animals, and fungi.
