Answer: A. Makes haploids from diploids ...

Every meiosis makes n cells out of 2n cells (means it devides the chromosomes by 2)

Like if a cell has 24 chromosomes after meiosis we have 12 chromosomes and the cells are called gamets.

Explanation: but mytosis makes multiples the numbers of cells ... And it doesn touch Chromosomes ... 2n → 2n

Like we have a cell which has 40 chromosomes ... And if it goes through mytosis the new cells will have 40
