An accurate summary of meiosis is D. A CELL DIVIDES INTO GAMETES.

Meiosis is a special type of cell division wherein only have of the DNA copies are made. Meiosis divides cells two times. First cell division is Meiosis I and second cell division is Meiosis II.

In Meiosis I, homologous chromosome pairs are segregated into two new daughter cells. In Meiosis II, the two new daughter cells produced in Meiosis I are again divided producing four daughter cells.

These four daughter cells become gametes when they mature. Some types of gametes are sperm, ova, pollen, or spores. They contribute to sexual production when facilitated together with fertilization.
