Answer:

The correct answer is - Meiosis

Step-by-step explanation:

In eukaryotes, there are two types of cell division meiosis and mitosis. The mitosis is called equational division and meiosis is called reductional division. Mitosis occurs in somatic cell and the daughter cell is diploid like parent cell.

Meiosis is a reductional division because in meiosis the daughter cells contain half the chromosome present in parent cell. During meiosis 1st the chromosomes number becomes half because of the separation of two homologous chromosomes.

During meiosis, the sister chromatids are separated into two more separate cells. Meiosis occurs only in gametic cells to produce haploid cells.
