Meiosis changes a species by introducing genetic variation through the process of recombination, independent assortment, and random segregation of chromosomes. This results in the production of genetically diverse gametes, which increases the likelihood of offspring with unique combinations of traits. Additionally, meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half, ensuring the maintenance of a stable chromosome number across generations.
