Question
meiosis contributes to the process of reproduction by producing what type of cell?
aneuploid
diploid
haploid
polyploid
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing gametes (sperm or egg cells) which are haploid (having half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell). Aneuploid cells have an abnormal number of chromosomes, diploid cells have the full set (and are produced by mitosis or in fertilization), and polyploid cells have multiple sets of chromosomes. So meiosis produces haploid cells.
