Melody Schneider · Answer 1

Cells divide twice

Explanation:

Meiosis may be defined as the process of cell division in which a single cell divides to give four daughter cells and each daughter cells have half number of chromosomes.

Meiosis is also known as reduction division as the chromosome number reduces upto half in the progeny cells as compared with the parent cell. The cells divide twice in meiosis and give rise to four daughter cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
