Answer 3

Yes, I am sure. Meiosis is the special type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half and produces gametes (sperm and eggs) in sexually reproducing organisms. It takes place specifically in the gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females). Mitosis, on the other hand, is a process that occurs in somatic (non-gonadal) cells for growth and repair, resulting in identical daughter cells. Therefore, the correct answer is meiosis.
