Meiosis usually takes place in all of the following, EXCEPT:
Correct answer: C. Healing of wounds
- A. Spore formation in plants
- B. Sex cell formation
- C. Healing of wounds
- D. Gametes formation in animals
Explanation
Some organisms, both plants and animals, undergo asexual reproduction. Regeneration, healing of wounds and replacement of older cells all are the gifts of mitosis while Meiosis usually takes place at the time of sexual cell (gamete) formation, spore formation in plants.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
