Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Meiosis involves ____
A
the reproduction of body cells.
B
only one parent.
C
eggs in females and sperm in males.
D
an organism making an exact copy of itself.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells. Mitosis is a fundamental process for life.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both males and females use meiosis to produce their gametes, although there are some key differences between the sexes at certain stages. In females, the process of meiosis is called oogenesis, since it produces oocytes and ultimately yields mature ova(eggs).

Detailed explanation-3: -In humans, meiosis is the process by which sperm cells and egg cells are produced. In the male, meiosis takes place after puberty. Diploid cells within the testes undergo meiosis to produce haploid sperm cells with 23 chromosomes. A single diploid cell yields four haploid sperm cells through meiosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis contains two separate cell divisions, meaning that one parent cell can produce four gametes (eggs in females, sperm in males).
