What type of cell division occurs in sexual reproduction?

Mitosis
Meiosis
Binary Fission
Conjugation

The correct answer is: Meiosis

B. Meiosis is the type of cell division that occurs in sexual reproduction. This process involves the production of gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, resulting in genetic variation between offspring. A. Mitosis is the type of cell division that occurs in asexual reproduction, in which identical copies of cells are produced. C. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotic cells only, where the cells split into two identical copies. D. Conjugation is a process in which prokaryotic cells exchange genetic material, but it is not a form of cell division and occurs only in certain bacteria and protozoa.
