The Meiosis is a reduction division occurs in reproductive germ cells in which allosomes determine sex determination finally generates half of the chromosomes in daughter cells.
Haploid cells (n = 23) are normally produced by reduction division of meiosis from diploid parent cells (2n = 46). This type of division occurs in germ cells of male and female species. The chromosomes of the diploid germ cell undergo reduction in meiosis I and generate half of the chromosomes when compared to parent diploid cell. In mitosis, chromosomal number will not be halved.
Thus, the options (a), (d) and (b) are incorrect.
Haploid cells (n = 23) are normally produced by reduction division of meiosis from diploid parent cells (2n = 46). This type of division occurs in germ cells of male and female species.
Therefore, the correct option is – c. meiosis.
