meiosis
During the formation of gametes - a process called gametogenesis - meiosis is a process which only occurs during this period. Meiosis is a special type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction.
The Nuclear process that Gametes are formed is called Gametogenesis.
The type of cell division which leads to gametes is called meiosis. This results in four haploid daughter cells (cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell).Gametes themselves do not divide until after they have fused (during fertilization) and become a zygote. After this point they are no longer gametes - but the type of division that the zygote undergoes is mitosis.
Meiotic division is called reduction division because the daughter cells (called 'gametes') are haploid, that is, carry half the number of chromosomes of the parent cells. Gametes carry one chromosome of each homologous pair, whereas the diploid parent cells carry both.
Somatic cells are the cells that form the body like skin, blood and bones. These type of cells go through the cell division process called mitosis. Gametes, or germline cells, like sperm and ova go a different cell division process called meiosis.
Male gametes* --->Meiosis. (basic pre-biology in most all biology books)
ovum
Yes. This process produces gametes called eggs in females and sperm in males.
A special cell division called meiosis produces gametes(sex cells).

It is called meiosis. It works very similarly to mitosis, but the DNA isn't replicated once it has divided.
