Hint:
The number of chromosomes reduces in meiosis cell division.
The correct answer is: Meiotic cell division
Meiosis is a type of cell division that halves the chromosome number of the mother cell and produces four gamete cells. This process is necessary to generate egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction. During reproduction, when the sperm and egg cells combine into a single cell, the chromosome number of the offspring is restored.
