What is produced by the process of meiosis?


A. Cells that are an exact copy of the parent cell
B. Cells that are exact copies of all the other daughter cells.
C. Cells that contain half of the number of chromosome present in the parent cell.
D. Cells that contain the exact number of chromosomes present in the parent cell.

Respuesta :

Choice C is correct. 

WHY: In meiosis, sex cells (eggs or sperm) are produced. This means that they must have half the number of chromosomes in each, and they must be each UNIQUE.
Thus, the other options (A,B,D) cannot be correct because the product of meiosis cannot be the exact copy of the parent cells, and so cannot have the same number of chromosomes either.
C. Cells that contain half of the number of chromosome present in the parent cell.
