Meiosis.
Cause body cells have twice the chromosomes a sex cell has Body cells have 46 chromosomes and sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes as body cells, so if the body cells have 12 chromosomes, the sex cells will have 6 chromosomes. This reduction occurs through the process of meiosis, where the chromosome number is halved to ensure proper genetic information is passed on during sexual reproduction.
There are 46 chromosomes in your body cells. The egg cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cells, so there are 23 chromosomes in the egg cells.
Gametes are cells, in humans they contain 23 chromosomes. Body Cells (Properly Called: Somatic Cells) in humans contain 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). Some differences or problems can cause this number to change in specific humans, gametes, and somatic cells. Muscle cells may have hundreds of chromosomes, red blood cells have none.
Each daughter cell has 46 chromosomes, or you can say 23 pairs of chromosomes.

I don't know man, I'm looking for the same response myself.
Mitosis makes diploid cells or stomatic cells which are cells with 2 haploid sets of chromosomes. These are your normal body cells. every cell in you body besides the gametes are diploid and have 46 chromosomes. Meiosis makes haploid cells which only have 23 chromosomes or one set of chromosomes. Haploid cells are your gametes or reproductive cells and meiosis only happens in your gonads or reproductive organ.
The chromosomes in the daughter cells are identical to the parent cell, with the same number and type of chromosomes. Each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes, ensuring genetic continuity. This process is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of the body.
Sex cells are haploid cells, meaning that they have half the cells of body cells. If a pig has 38 chromosomes, then in its egg cells there will be 19 chromosomes. Also in a male pig there will be 19 in its sperm cells.
Body cells typically have a diploid number of chromosomes, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. Sex cells, or gametes, have a haploid number of chromosomes, meaning they have one set of chromosomes. This allows for the correct number of chromosomes to be restored upon fertilization.
Sutton observed that while body cells in grasshoppers had a diploid number of chromosomes, sex cells (sperm and eggs) had a haploid number of chromosomes. This observation led to the hypothesis that chromosomes are responsible for passing on hereditary information from one generation to the next.
