Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis, from the Greek word meioun, meaning “to make small, ” refers to the specialized process by which germ cells divide to produce gametes. Because the chromosome number of a species remains the same from one generation to the next, the chromosome number of germ cells must be reduced by half during meiosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Meiosis produces gametes that contain one complete haploid set of chromosomes’

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.
