B. Meiosis
Meiosis is the type of cell division by which germ cells (eggs and sperm) are produced and involves a reduction in the amount of genetic material. It comprises two successive nuclear divisions with only one round of DNA replication.
Meiosis differs from mitosis primarily because cells end up with a haploid number of chromosomes.

Meiosis.
Tip: miTosis is the making of Two (diploid). see the T? meiosis has no T, so it only makes one (haploid).
