Answer: option C - The cells produced at the end of meiosis contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell

Explanation:

Meiosis is also known as REDUCTIVE DIVISION, simply because a parent cell with diploid number of chromosome (46) is divided into four daughter cells with haploid number of chromosome (23)

Thus, ONLY option C correctly defines meiosis

At the end of meiosis, produced cells contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Option C is correct.

Meiosis:

It is division in which cell divide into 4 haploid daughter cells.

  • The daughter cells are haploid.
  • Haploid means cell have half of number the chromosome of its parent.
  • It is found in the germ cells to produce the sperm and ovum.

Therefore, at the end of meiosis, produced cells contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
