Sex cells, also referred to as zygotes are made in the reproductive organs of the respected genders. Men in the Testes, women in the ovaries. These differ from somatic cells (body) because these have one function which is to reproduce or procreate. Somatic cells line all other parts of body for all other functions.

Is meiosis a part of cell cycle?

It depends, Meiosis is part of the sex cells cycle (Sperm and Egg) but it requires sexual reproduction (2 parents) as apposed to all the other human cell's way of reproduction, Mitosis. Meiosis is how a sex cell divides, so it is part of the sex cell's cell cycle, but not all cells

How many chromosomes are present in human sex cells?

The human sex cell or human gamete has half the number of cells that any other normal human cell would have. A normal human cell (the one from your skin, mouth, lung, liver, sex organs, etc.) has 23 pairs of chromosomes and as such are called diploid cells. The sex cells are haploid having only 23 number of chromosomes as they unite with another haploid cell to create a normal cell with complete set of 23 pairs of chromosomes. The 23rd chromosome on a male human gamete is either the X or the Y chromosome while on the female gamete it is always the X chromosome.
