The cell undergoing a reduction division is called.
A
Germ cell
B
Meiocyte
C
Meiospore
D
Oocyte
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cells in which meiosis or reductional division takes place are termed meiocytes. Meiotic divisions produce gametes.

Detailed explanation-2: -As previously mentioned, the first round of nuclear division that occurs during the formation of gametes is called meiosis I. It is also known as the reduction division because it results in cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiocytes are the cells that undergo meiosis to produce gametes. They are diploid and produce 4 haploid cells after meiosis or reduction division. They are also known as gamete mother cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis is called reduction division because number of chromosomes in daughter cells is reduced to half than that of parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Meiosis I is called a reductional division, because it reduces the number of chromosomes inherited by each of the daughter cells.
