Answer:
The correct answer would be : half the number of chromosomes than the parent cell carries.
Explanation:
Meiosis is a type of cell division takes place in reproductive cell to produce the haploid gametes to fused during fertilization. In meiosis a single cell give rise to four daughter cells with half number of genetic material or chromosome to original amount of the parent cell, which gives it name reduction division.
As the gametes form by this type of cell division fused during fertilization, it is necessary to have haploid number of chromosome to maintain the number of chromosome in diploid cell or somatic cells.
Thus, the correct answer would be : half the number of chromosomes than the parent cell carries.
