Explanation:

• 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.

Answer:

C. Gametes are involved in transporting DNA
