They are haploid or have half the number of chromosomes.
Sex cells have 1/2 the number of chromosomes than body cells. In humans that is 23.
Sex cells are haploid cells that carry half the number of chromosomes, while other body cells are diploid and contain a complete set of chromosomes. Sex cells are involved in sexual reproduction, contributing genetic information from both parents, while body cells are involved in growth, maintenance, and functioning of the body.
Body cells. Meiosis deals with sex cells
Cause body cells have twice the chromosomes a sex cell has Body cells have 46 chromosomes and sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
Sex cells only include the gametes i.e. sperms and ovum's. All the other cells present in our body are cells for protection such as WBC's etc!!! other cells include RBC's , epithelial cells..cells present in d cheek..etc
I think it's that first of all, sex cells undergo meiosis 1 and 2. None of the others do.

Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes that almost all other cells in the body have. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes in body cells, but only 23 in egg cells and sperm cells. This is because, in sexual reproduction, you get half your genes from your mother and half from your father and 23+23=46 total chromosomes.
Meiosis is responsible for dividing sex cells (sperm and egg cells) into four non-identical haploid cells. It is not involved in dividing body cells, which go through mitosis for growth, repair, and maintenance of the body.
Either sex cells or body cells. Sex cells perform mieosis, and body cels perform mitosis.
Body cells or somatic cells have a full number of chromosomes while sex cells have one half the number.
