Single correct option
Gametes in humans are formed by the type of cell division called
- A. mitosis
- B. binary fission
- C. meiosis
- D. budding
Show answer and solution
Answer: (C) meiosis
Meiosis in the testes and ovaries halves the chromosome number, so each gamete is haploid and fertilisation restores the diploid number. Mitosis gives identical diploid body cells for growth and repair. Binary fission is asexual division in unicellular organisms.
