Detailed explanation-1: -It takes two rounds of division to produce four cells, each with only one copy of each chromosome (haploid). Complete answer: Meiosis is a process that happens in all animals and plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis does not occur anywhere in the body besides the gonads. Because the purpose of meiosis is to produce haploid reproductive cells, this process only occurs in the testes of males during sperm production, or in the ovaries of females during the production of egg cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -In plants, meiosis is initiated in sporogenous cells that are differentiated in ovules and anthers (Bhatt et al., 2001). In each ovule, only a single megaspore mother cell (MMC) surrounded by the somatic nucellar cells is differentiated and then undergoes meiosis (Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘Bacterial cell’
