The meiosis takes place in

AApical meristem
BInter calary meristem
CReproductive cells
Correct Answer
DVegetative cells

Solution

Meiosis takes place in reproductive cells. Meiosis results in four haploid daughter cells by undergoing one round of DNA replication followed by two divisions: homologous chromosomes are separated in the first division, and sister chromatids are separated in the second division. Meiosis produces haploid gametes with one set of 23 chromosomes. When two gametes fuse, the resulting zygote is once again diploid.
So, the correct answer is option C.
