Meiosis was discovered by
Meiosis was discovered by
The correct option is C Hertwig
Meiosis is a special type of cell division a process where a single cell divides two times to produce four haploid cells, each not only containing half the original amount of genetic information but also genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them. This process occurs in all sexually reproducing single-celled and multicellular eukaryotes, including animals, plants and fungi.
For the first time, meiosis was discovered and described by Oscar Hertwig, a German biologist, in 1876, in sea urchin eggs. Then again in 1883, it was described by Edouard van Beneden in roundworms. A German biologist, August Weismann in 1890, described the significance of meiosis for reproduction and inheritance. The term "meiosis" was introduced by J.B. Farmer and J.E.S. Moore in the year 1905. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
