Sexual reproduction involves which type of cell division?

Meiosis
C
Binary fission
D
Mitosis
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the types of cell division: Mitosis and Meiosis are the two main types of cell division in eukaryotic organisms.
Recognize the purpose of each type: Mitosis is used for growth and repair, producing two identical daughter cells, while Meiosis is used for sexual reproduction, producing four genetically diverse gametes.
Identify the context of the question: The question asks about sexual reproduction, which involves the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells).
Connect the process to the context: Meiosis is the type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating haploid cells necessary for sexual reproduction.
Conclude with the correct association: Since sexual reproduction requires the formation of gametes, the correct type of cell division involved is Meiosis.
