Question
Sex cells are produced by what type of cell division?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Sex cells (gametes: sperm and eggs) are produced by a specialized type of cell division called meiosis. Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half, producing haploid cells, and introduces genetic variation through crossing over and independent assortment.
Hint
This type of division reduces the chromosome number by half and creates genetic diversity.
