    Answer: Option C

    Explanation:

    The genetic information contained in the cells resulting from meiosis determines the traits of offspring resulting from sexual reproduction.

    Meiosis involves cell division of a diploid cell into four haploid cells, which develop to produce gametes. It occurs only in sexual reproduction.

    Usually, for fertilization to occur, male gamete carrying haploid number of chromosome (n = 23) fuses with female gamete with haploid number as well. The fusion gives a zygote with 46 chromosomes (44 non-sex chromosomes and 2 sex chromosomes).

    This zygote with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) represents the offspring of both parents, carrying traits (genetic information) of both, and is diploid.
