The statement 'reduces the chromosome number by half, produces gametes' is TRUE about meiosis (Option d).

  • Meiosis is a reductional cell division by which a parent cell produces four cells (gametes) having half of the genetic material.

  • Conversely, mitosis produces cells having identical genetic material as the parental cell.

  • Meiosis produces germinal (gametic) cells, whereas mitosis produces somatic cells.

In conclusion, the statement 'reduces the chromosome number by half, produces gametes' is TRUE about meiosis (Option d).
