Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females. Meiosis in humans happens before birth in females, and constantly after puberty in males.

So D) it occurs before an organism can sexually reproduce, is your answer hope i helped xxxsydney

D, I believe

Meiosis produces gametes, each parent provides a gamete, containing half the number of require chromosomes. These combine to create a full set of chromosomes.
