Question

Name of the cell division which reduces the half chromosomes of the parent cell is ..........

• A. Mitosis
• B. Amitosis
• C. Meiosis
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Meiosis

The cell division which reduces the half chromosomes of the parent cell is meiosis. Meiosis is a division that takes a diploid cell with two sets of chromosomes to a haploid cell one with a single set of chromosomes it means meiosis reduces the half number of chromosomes of the parent cell.

In meiosis, a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of chromosomes of the parent cell. It occurs in germ cells.

So the correct answer is "Meiosis".
