Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3
Which of the following best describes the purpose of meiosis in living organisms?
- To produce genetically different diploid cells for tissue repair
- To produce genetically identical diploid cells for growth
- To produce genetically different haploid cells for sexual reproduction
- To produce genetically identical haploid cells for asexual reproduction
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — To produce genetically different haploid cells for sexual reproduction
Award 1 mark for recognising that meiosis produces haploid gametes with genetic variation for sexual reproduction. B is incorrect because meiosis produces haploid, not diploid cells, and mitosis produces genetically identical cells for growth. D is incorrect because meiosis produces genetically different cells, not identical ones. A is incorrect because meiosis produces haploid cells, not diploid cells, and mitosis is responsible for tissue repair.

Pearson Edexcel International IGCSE Biology: Reproduction FAQ
Is Kramizo free for Pearson Edexcel International IGCSE students preparing for Biology?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Reproduction practice with other Biology topics or even switch to a totally different Pearson Edexcel International subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Reproduction questions aligned to the official Pearson Edexcel International IGCSE Biology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published Pearson Edexcel International IGCSE Biology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real Pearson Edexcel International paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from Pearson Edexcel International.
How is Reproduction typically tested on Pearson Edexcel International IGCSE Biology papers?
Reproduction appears across multiple question types on real Pearson Edexcel International IGCSE Biology papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
