Question

meiosis generates genetically different cells due to genetic recombination and crossing over. a total of four daughter cells are produced. meiosis primarily serves the purpose of facilitating sexual reproduction and takes place in germ cells found in the testes and ovaries of animals, as well as in pollen and ovules of plants. crossing over takes place during meiosis i, allowing for the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. the image below shows the process of meiosis. read the information before answering the question. what type of cells does meiosis produce? somatic cells diploid cells gametes

Explanation:

Meiosis occurs in germ - cells for sexual reproduction and produces four genetically different daughter cells which are gametes (sperm and egg in animals, pollen and ovules in plants). Somatic cells are produced by mitosis, and diploid cells are the starting cells for meiosis, not the end - products.

Answer:

C. Gametes
