Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Meiosis is the process of cell division that creates gametes, or sex cells, with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Therefore, option C is the correct choice. Fertilized ovum is formed by the fusion of gametes; alleles are the different forms of a gene that represent alternate versions of a trait; proteins are macromolecules that are synthesized from the information encoded in genes, but are not directly produced by meiosis.
