Answer:

If meiosis continues in this case and produces gametes, Genetic variability would decrease because of crossing over is the most concerning statement which would increase because of insertion.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The option here defines the best case because in the case the cell would just keep on dividing further.
  • Meiosis is the process where 'special type of cell division' which reduces the 'chromosome number by half'.
