They go through a process called meiosis, which is similar to mitosis. Mitosis is the splitting of regular cells. Meiosis is the splitting of reproductive cells.

Yes, the cells that are involved in sexual reproduction divide by meiosis. This produces daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell (gametes).

Process of cell division which results in the production of sex cells?

It is a nucleic acid and is made from building blocks called nucleotides. The process then repeats in what is called the cell cycle. Cell division (NIH image) Mitosis is how somatic--or non-reproductive cells--divide. Somatic cells.

Sex cells divide using the process called?

The production of sex cells is called "gametogenesis." This makes sense since a gamete is a reproductive cell and "genesis" means creation or beginning. If the sex cells being produced are sperm the process is called "spermatogenesis" and if the sex cells being produced are eggs it is called "oogenisis."


Why meiosis is only found in certain cells?

Meiosis occurs in sexual reproductive cells, Cells which are asexual goes through a conjugation process instead.
