It produces male and female sex cells.

Answer 1

The best option that describes meiosis is the last one: "It produces male and female sex cells"

Step-by-step explanation:

Meiosis is the process of making offspring, from the joining of a sperm cell, from a male, and an egg cell, from a female, to the creation of a zygote. In order for life to be created (at least for a human baby), it'll need 46 chromosomes. And so 23 chromosome come from the sperm cell while the other 23 come from the egg cell.
