Solution

The product of meiosis is male and female sex cells. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.

  2. The process begins with a single cell that contains a full set of chromosomes (in humans, this would be 46).

  3. This cell then undergoes two rounds of cell division, resulting in four cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the original cell (in humans, this would be 23).

  4. These cells are the gametes - in males, they mature to become sperm, and in females, one of the cells matures to become an egg while the others degrade.

So, the answer to your question is b. male and female sex cells.
