Question

Select all the statements that are true for the process of meiosis.

A. It is responsible for the production of blood.

B. It is responsible for the production of somatic cells.

C. It is responsible for the production of enzymes.

D. It is responsible for the production of gametes.

E. It is responsible for the reduction of chromosomes.

F. It is responsible for maintaining the 2n chromosome number.

Answer 1

The true statements for the process of meiosis are:

D. It is responsible for the production of gametes.
E. It is responsible for the reduction of chromosomes.

The other statements are false:
A. It is responsible for the production of blood. (Blood cells are produced through hematopoiesis, not meiosis.)
B. It is responsible for the production of somatic cells. (Somatic cells are produced through mitosis, not meiosis.)
C. It is responsible for the production of enzymes. (Enzymes are produced by cells, and while the processes that create enzymes can involve meiosis, meiosis itself does not produce enzymes.)
F. It is responsible for maintaining the 2n chromosome number. (Meiosis reduces the chromosome number from 2n to n.)
