In males, meiosis occurs in precursor cells known as spermatogonia that divide twice to become sperm.
Pairing between homologous chromosomes
1. photophase 2. metaphase 3. anaphase 4. telophase
Cells produced at the end of telophase 2 (the final stage of meosis 2) become gametes containing haploid number of chromosomes.
They form from the merger of two haploid (half-gened cells: a sperm and an egg). Actually in mammals the egg swallows the sperm, and the nuclear material fuses together.

Two are produced in Mitosis and 4 in meosis.

sperm or an egg. Each contain 1/2 the total DNA of a normal cell. The sperm and egg combine to put these two halves together and create a new DNA combination that is unique to the individual (unless they have an identical sibling/s)
2.sperm
I am sure it is (3n).This is because In angiosperms most common type of embryo sac formation, there is fusion of 1 sperm nuclei + 2 polar nuclei=triple fusion resulting in a triploid primary endosperm nuclues.
Two types of sex cells are> Sperm (in males)> Egg or ovum (in females)Sperm is produces in the testes.Ovum or egg is produced in the ovaries.Source(s):
An ovum from my mother and a sperm cell from my father combined to produce a zygote which ultimately produced me.
Because mitosis creates duplicates of cells with complete copies of the chromosomes in each cell made. For eggs and sperm cells the cell division process has to end up with the eggs and sperm having just 1/2 of the chromosome numbers in each cell made. Eggs and sperm are therefore produced by 'meiosis' and not 'mitosis'.
It is sperm that has 2 heads instead of 1 but, don't worry its very common!:)
