The change in chromosome number from diploid (2N) somatic cells to haploid gametes during meiosis is primarily the result of:
**A mitosis. mitosis.**
This option is incorrect, as mitosis does not change the chromosome number; it maintains diploid cells.
However, the correct response regarding the production of haploid gametes specifically due to meiosis would indicate that none of the provided answers directly describes the process of meiosis.
Given the context, the best choice that implies the overall change in generation of haploid gametes could be seen as leading to fertilization. In that case:
**B fertilization. fertilization.**
But specifically, if the Venn diagram referenced meiosis directly, the most accurate answer would relate to the process of meisosis itself, which isn’t provided in the options given.
So if focusing on the direct question of meiosis producing haploid cells:
Meiosis causes this change directly by reducing the chromosome number by half.
If you're asking for the overall context of what happens after the production of these gametes, fertilization would be the correct process that involves those haploid cells leading to a diploid zygote.
Please clarify how to approach or if there's a specific aspect of the question you'd like to focus on!
