Question

which is true about meiosis?

• meiosis is the process where proteins are made in the cell
• meiosis produces four genetically different sex cells (gametes)
• meiosis is cell division responsible for growth and repair; results in two genetically identical cells

Explanation:

• Analyze the first option: Protein synthesis (not meiosis) makes proteins, so this is false.
• Analyze the second option: Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half and produces four genetically different gametes (sex cells), so this is true.
• Analyze the third option: Mitosis (not meiosis) is responsible for growth and repair, producing two identical cells, so this is false.

Answer:

The correct option is: Meiosis produces four genetically different sex cells (gametes)
