Solution

The correct answer is C. Each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. This is because meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half. This process is used to produce gametes (sperm or egg cells) in animals, which combine during fertilization to create a new organism with the same number of chromosomes as the parent.
