Answer:

A. Gametes are formed by meiosis and are haploid, while body cells are formed by mitosis and are diploid.


Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces four haploid daughter cells (gametes) from one cell, while mitosis produces two diploid daughter cells (i.e., somatic cells). In both cases, the DNA is replicated during interphase of the cell cycle
