Solution

The correct option is C
Non-identical chromosomes are produced after meiosis and identical chromosomes are formed after mitosis

Since meiosis occurs for gamete formation, the number of chromosomes will be halved and the chromosomes in each gamete will be different too. After mitosis, identical chromosomes are formed and hence it is called an equational division.
