Which best describes meiosis?
a. it produces cells that are identical to the original cell.
b. it is responsible for the replacement of damaged skin cells.
c. it is responsible for growth of the organism.
d. it produces male and female sex cells.

The correct answer is- D) It produces male and female sex cells.  

Meiosis is a type of cell division that is a typical characteristic of sexually-reproducing organisms. It involves formation of four daughter cells ( that haploid) from a single mother cell that is diploid.

It occurs during the process of gamete formation, which leads to formation of both male and female sex cells ( haploid reproductive cells like sperm and egg).

Thus, option D) is the right answer.

the eggs of the insects should be the first thing collected at the scene.
