Correct Answer
B False
C
D
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

True. The primary purpose of meiosis is to reduce the chromosome number by half. It starts with a diploid (2n) cell and, through two rounds of division, produces four haploid (n) daughter cells, which are the gametes (sperm or eggs).

Hint

Does meiosis produce cells with a full set (diploid) or half set (haploid) of chromosomes?
