Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Option A: Gametes are produced by meiosis, not mitosis. Mitosis is for somatic cell division (growth, repair).
  • Option B: Gametes are for reproduction (fertilization), not digestion.
  • Option C: Gametes (sperm in males) carry DNA (genetic material) to fuse with the female gamete (egg) during fertilization.
