Introduction:
Meiosis is a process in which single cell divides twice to produce four daughter cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. The meiosis is categorized as meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis-I is known as reductional division because the daughter cells produced by this contains half of the genetic material. It is divided into four phases, namely prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I. Meiosis-II is known as equational division because it is similar to mitosis. It is also divided into four phases, namely prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II.
Correct answer:
The correct option is C, independent assortment.
Explanation correct answer; C. Independent assortment refers to a phenomenon by which different genes are inherited independently of one another. We can simply say that, the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence or alter the effect of another allele. Gamete formation during meiosis follows law of independent assortment.
Explanation incorrect answer; A. Asexual reproduction occurs in prokaryotes in which no fusion of gametes occurs. The bacterial cell grows and divides to form offspring or two daughter nuclei.
B. Cytokinesis is a part of cell division in which cytoplasm of the cell divides. It is usually preceded by karyokinesis.
D. Mitosis is a process by which two daughter cells are produced which contains equal number of chromosomes as that of the parent cell.
