alleryMeiosis is the type of cell division that produces:
AHaploid gametes from diploid germ cells (2n → n)
BStem cells
CDiploid cells
DIdentical cells
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Haploid gametes from diploid germ cells (2n → n)
**Meiosis:** reductional division (2n → n).
Two successive divisions (meiosis I and II) without intervening DNA replication.
Produces 4 haploid cells from one diploid parent.
Essential for sexual reproduction and genetic variation.
