Which best explains the process of meiosis?

Meiosis is a series of cell-division steps that separates the cell’s chromosomes, distributing its DNA into new cells. Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm, not the DNA, so choices A and B confuse those processes. Interphase is when the cell grows and copies its DNA; it does not divide the cytoplasm. Therefore, the best choice is “Meiosis is a series of steps that divides the cell’s DNA.”
