Question

In sexual reproduction,the reduction division stage is known as
A)fertilization.
B)anaphase.
C)meiosis II.
D)meiosis I.
E)G₁.

Accepted Answer

Meiosis is the process of cell division that produces gametes for sexual reproduction. Meiosis consists of two rounds of cell division; the first meiotic division (meiosis I) is the reduction division during which the diploid cell is reduced to haploid cell. Therefore, the reduction division stage is known as meiosis I. Fertilization is the process that occurs when the haploid male and female gametes fuse to form a diploid zygote, and anaphase is a stage of mitosis or meiosis during which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. G₁ is a stage of the cell cycle during which the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.
