Haploid cells that are so called gametes in humans.

These cells contain half the number of chromosomes , and so meiosis is called the reduction division.

Answer:

The correct answer is production of haploid gamete cells that is a sperm and egg cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division which an organism uses to produce four haploid daughter cells. meiosis takes place in two phases: meiosis I and meiosis II.

The number of chromosomes or ploidy level changes from 2n to n as two cells is formed during meiosis I which is the reason why meiosis I is also known as "reductional division". Meiosis II is known as the equational division where the cells with n ploidy form daughter cells with n ploidy level. Meiosis is a type of sexual division which is involved in the formation of sex cells or gametic cells.

Thus, the production of haploid gamete cells is the correct answer.
