Sagot :

D. it produces male and female sex cells

In meiosis, a cell splits into four cells, also splitting the chromosome count in half from the original cell. This is a critical stage for sexual reproduction in that the cells then match up with other haploid cells produced by meiosis from another parent to create a new organism. These sex cells have both male and female chromosomes and the resulting sex depends on how the cells match up with those of the other parent.
the answer is D. it produces male and female sex cells
