Image reference
A.
Meiosis produces the haploid gametes (pollen and egg cells) necessary for fertilization.

Meiosis allows for genetic diversity through the process of chromosomal crossover.
C.
Meiosis ensuring that the offspring inherit the correct number of chromosomes by halving the chromosome number in the gametes.
D.
Meiosis ensuring that the offspring inherit the correct number of chromosomes by producing identical chromosome numbers in the gametes.

Meiosis is indeed vital for the reproduction of flowering plants for several reasons. From the options provided, the correct ones are:
**A. Meiosis produces the haploid gametes (pollen and egg cells) necessary for fertilization.**
**B. Meiosis allows for genetic diversity through the process of chromosomal crossover.**
**C. Meiosis ensuring that the offspring inherit the correct number of chromosomes by halving the chromosome number in the gametes.**
Option **D** is incorrect because meiosis does not produce identical chromosome numbers; rather, it produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes, ensuring genetic diversity and the correct chromosome number upon fertilization.
