Solution
The correct option is A Farmer and Moore
The term meiosis was coined by Farmer and Moore. Meiosis is a reductive cell division, whereby the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half, to produce haploid gametes (meiosis). Meiosis results in four haploid daughter cells by undergoing one round of DNA replication followed by two divisions: homologous chromosomes are separated in the first division, and sister chromatids are separated in the second division. So, the correct answer is option D.
