Which mechanism is responsible for reductional cell division?

A) Mitosis

B) Cancer

C) Meiosis

D) Budding

D) None of the above

Meiosis.

Explanation:

Meiosis may be defined as the process of cell division in which a single parent cell divides into four daughter cells. This type of division occurs in the sex cells.

The meiosis division is also known as reduction division because the daughter cells contain the half number of chromosomes as compared with parent cell. The meiosis is divided into meiosis-I and meiosis-II.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
