Why is meiosis important for organisms? It allows for genetic variation among organisms. It determines which genes are dominant and which are recessive. It produces genetically identical cells. It provides a means of asexual reproduction.

Meosis is the production of sex cells, or gametes. And the end results is four different cells. Meosis is important to sexual reproduction which ensures a genetic variation among organisms. - Asexual reproduction produces an offspring that is genetically the same as their parent.

It allows for genetic variation among organisms. The rest is stupid.
