Final answer:
The function of meiosis that is NOT correct is the production of identical daughter cells; meiosis instead results in four genetically unique haploid cells.
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the following are functions of meiosis EXCEPT the production of identical daughter cells (E). Meiosis is a biological process that ensures the production of haploid gametes, which are cells that contribute to the genetic material of the offspring during sexual reproduction. Noteworthy functions of meiosis include the production of sperm and egg cells (C), the reduction of chromosomes by half to maintain the species-specific chromosome number (B), and the crossing over and recombination of homologous chromosomes to increase genetic variability among the offspring (D). However, unlike mitosis which creates identical daughter cells, meiosis produces four genetically unique haploid daughter cells due to the processes of crossing-over and random segregation of chromosomes.
