Which process produces genetically distinct haploid spermatozoa from diploid primary spermatocytes?
Correct answer: C. Meiosis
- A. Mitosis
- B. Fertilisation
- C. Meiosis
- D. Implantation
Explanation
Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half and generates genetic variation through recombination and independent assortment. Mitosis produces genetically similar diploid cells and does not create haploid gametes.
