Correct answer
A. 1st reductional and IInd equational
Step-by-step solution
Meiosis I is reductional and Meisois II is equational
In meiosis I, the division is reductional, while in meiosis II, the division is equational. In reduction division, the chromosome number is reduced from diploid (46 chromosomes) to haploid (23 chromosomes) state. Also known as first meiotic division or first meiosis. The second meiotic division is an equational division because it does not reduce chromosome numbers.
