They are formed in a process called meiosis by your sexual organs. The sexual organs (gametes) are the ovum and spermatozoa. The ovum forms in the ovaries of a female, whereas the sperm (short for spermatozoa), forms in the testes of a male.

What best describes the law of independent assortment?
When sex cells form, alleles of a trait separate independently.sex
What kind of cells result from mitosis?
mitosis= body cells or somatic cells Meiosis= sex cells or germ cells
What do somatic cells include?
Body cells. This distinguishes them from sex cells, gametes.
Scientific name for a sex cell?
germ cellsreproductive cellsgamete cells
Are sex cells undergoing mitosis?
Your "germ" (or sex, but I prefer germ) cells undergo mitosis to create more diploids, but then they undergo Meiosis I to form a haploid. In boys, the germ cells will undergo Meiosis II to form their complete germ cells. In girls, the cell will only complete Meiosis II if the egg is fertilized. So the answer is sort of yes... the diploids will undergo Mitosis, but to actually get germ cells... they must undergo Meiosis.
When the cells in the male and female parent divide do they form body cells or sex cells?
Sex cells.
What do the sex cells form when they are joined?
A zygote.

What do somatic cells form?
Somatic cells make up the body cells, as opposed to the gametes, which are sex cells.
Is sex pilus found in all bacterial cells?
No, not all bacteria form sex pili.
How are sex cells different from other cell in the body?
Sex cells have 1/2 the number of chromosomes of a normal cell (23)
Explain the stage in the life cycle of fern?
A spore grows into a heart shaped gametophyte. The gametophytes produces sex cells that unite to form a zygote. The zygote grows into a spore producing sporophyte.
During meiosis sex cells divide to form?
during meiosis, sexcells divide to form?
What is the sex cell of male gametophyte?
When DNA is formed in plants the structures such a cells form,Gametophytes make RcD cells. These are helpful in growth and development. They are a sub-cell category of cells. They form R2(o*3) and Nucleic based acids which make sex cells.
What kind of cells result from mitosis?
mitosis= body cells or somatic cells Meiosis= sex cells or germ cells
What is another name for sex cells?
Another word for sex cells is gametes. A male and female gamete come together to form a zygote: the first cell of the new organism.
What do somatic cells include?
Body cells. This distinguishes them from sex cells, gametes.
