Question
Sexually reproducing organisms produce gametes by the process of?
Mitosis
Meiosis
Cytokinesis
Cell division
Mitosis
Meiosis
Cytokinesis
Cell division
Hint:
This type of cell division is also called reduction division.
The correct answer is: Meiosis
- Gametes are made from living cells by a special division process called meiosis. This process of cell division allows gametes to carry half the genetic material of the original cell.
- Genetic material is packaged into structures called chromosomes, which are ordered and arranged to give each gamete a set of genetic instructions. A sexually reproduced offspring has two sets of genetic instructions, one from the male germ cell (plant pollen, animal sperm) and the other from the female egg cell.
