Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Meiosis.
Key Points
- Meiosis is a type of cell division in which a single cell divides two times to produce 4 daughter cells.
- Meiosis is also called reductional division as the number of chromosomes gets reduced to half after the process.
- Meiosis occurs in sex cells and results in the formation of Haploid Gametes (cell that contains a single set of chromosomes).
- 1 male sex cell divides meiotically to produce 4 male gametes, and all of them are functional.
- Whereas 1 female sex cell divides meiotically to produce 4 female gametes (eggs).
- In plants 3 of these gametes degenerate and only one remains functional.
- Zygote is formed by the fusion of male and female gametes, this process is known as Syngamy.
