Answer:

The correct answer would be a hydrogen bond.

The two strands of the DNA are held together with the help of hydrogen bonds formed between the nitrogenous bases or base pairs.

The adenine (A) base pairs or makes a hydrogen bond with thymine (T) and guanine (G) base pairs or makes a hydrogen bond with cytosine (C).

2 hydrogen bonds are present between the A and T whereas 3 hydrogen bonds are present between G and C.

JulsSmile [24]

Meiosis in reproductive organs (testes and ovary) produce gametes. Each human cell including reproductive cells contains 23 pair of chromosomes. Meiosis separates the two chromosomes from each pair thus, each gamete receives only one copy of each chromosome. Therefore, each gamete has 23 new chromosomes, one from each of the 23 pairs. During meiosis, exchange of chromosome segment between copies of a pair of chromosomes. The exchange of chromosome segments creates new combinations of genes which enhances genetic variability within a species.
