DIFFERENTIATED CELL

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.
A
fragmentation
B
budding
C
meiosis
D
mitosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information.

Detailed explanation-2: -The other type of cell division, meiosis, ensures that humans have the same number of chromosomes in each generation. It is a two-step process that reduces the chromosome number by half-from 46 to 23-to form sperm and egg cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis is a process of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half and produces sex cells, or gametes.
