Best answer

1. If meiosis did not occur, a fusion of gametes would result in a doubling of the chromosomes for each successive reproduced generation. 

2. For example, in case of man egg cells and sperm cells like other cells must contain 46 chromosomes.

3. This results in the formation of abnormalities in each generation. 

4. If meiosis did not occur, there is no genetic variation in the offsprings produced by random fusion of the gametes. 

5. New characters will not appear in the offsprings. 

6. The process of evolution will be stopped.
