Question

what is the correct definition for meiosis?
the process that produces the sex cells.
the process that a cell uses to have the same chromosomes as the parent cell.
the process that a cell uses to make a identical copy of itself.
the process that causes budding to happen to the parent cell.

Explanation:

Meiosis is the process of cell division that produces sex cells (gametes) with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. The first option describes this as "The process that produces the sex cells." The other options describe mitosis (cell division producing identical cells with same chromosomes as parent) or other processes, so the first option is correct.

Answer:

The first option (top - most teal box): "The process that produces the sex cells."
