Question

Which BEST describes meiosis?

Answer 1

The answer is D. it produces male and female sex cells

Answer 2

D. it produces male and female sex cells

In meiosis, a cell splits into four cells, also splitting the chromosome count in half from the original cell. This is a critical stage for sexual reproduction in that the cells then match up with other haploid cells produced by meiosis from another parent to create a new organism. These sex cells have both male and female chromosomes and the resulting sex depends on how the cells match up with those of the other parent.
