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.

explanation:

here is the answer

water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on earths surface. once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away.
