  • Question
  • Human gametes are produced by


  • Options
  • A. Mitosis
  • B. Meiosis
  • C. Replication
  • D. None of the above

  • Correct Answer
  • Meiosis 

    Explanation

    In humans all reproduction is sexual. It involves joining together haploid gamete cells from each parent with half the normal number of chromosomes to make a new cell containing both parents' genetic material. This is a diploid zygote. The cells from each parent that combine to form the zygote are called gametes.

     

    Meiosis produces haploid gametes from a diploid parental cell.
