Why is meiosis required for germ cell formation, yet is never used by somatic cells?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. Meiosis is the cell division process that produces haploid products.

  2. Meiosis is a process that produces one sperm and one egg from each dividing germ cell.

  3. Meiosis is a specialized, highly efficient process of cell division, which is used because of the large numbers of germ cells required by an organism.

  4. Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that produces four diploid cells instead of just two, facilitating the production of large numbers of germ cells.

When sufficient heat is applied, double-stranded DNA denatures into two single-stranded molecules as the heat breaks all of the hydrogen bonds. In an experiment, molecules of single-stranded DNA from species X are separately hybridized with putatively homologous single-stranded DNA molecules from five species (A-E). The hybridized DNAs are then heated, and the temperature at which complete denaturation occurs is recorded. Based on the data below, which species is probably most closely related to species X?
