Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Meiosis division is I reductional, II equational.
Meiosis is part of the sexual process because gametes (sperm, eggs) have one-half the chromosomes as diploid (2N) individuals.
There are two divisions in meiosis; the first division is meiosis I: the number of cells is doubled but the number of chromosomes is not. Meiosis II is equational division due to Separation of chromatids.
