Sex cells (gametes) can be produced through the process that involves meiosis.

Mitosis is the process that produces a diploid cell from two haploid cells. It is defined as a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
Meiosis is the process by which gametes or sex cells (ie sperm and ova) are made. Gametes have only one copy of each chromosome (haploid) where as the progenitor cells have two copies (diploid).
the same number of chromosomes as each other
two diploid cells from each parent
Starting cells have two chromatids in each chromosome while end cells have single chromatids .
You should ask your parents for specifics. Scientifically babies are made when special cells called sperm (produced by men) combine with cells called ova (produced by women) in a process called conception. Each of these cells is produced by a process called meiosis which makes cells containing half the information of the parent.
where each process occurs: sperm: in the male gonads(means sex organ)called the testes egg; in the female gonads called the ovaris the relative #s of gametes(sex cells) produced by each process: sperm:4 sex cells are produced in equal size egg:4 sex cells are produce but they are unequal in size

The egg is produced by the ovary through its follicles. These follicles are then stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormones from the anterior pituitary gland. Every 28 days, one egg from each ovary is produced. Sperm is constantly manufactured by the seminiferous tubules of the testes. Technically, males don't run out of sperm because a new batch is produced every day.
Each cell specializes to perform a relatively restricted range of functions through a process that is known as differentiation. Cells can replicate independently.
are genetically similar to each other
When gametes (sex cells) are produced, allele pairs separate or segregate leaving them with a single allele for each trait

Starts as a germ cell- 46 chromosomes Goes through phase 1 meiosis- 2 daughter cells each 46 chromosomes Goes through phase 2 meiosis- chromosomes are sorted randomly and recombined (crossing over)- gametes (sex cells) 23 chromosomes
They are exact copies of each other and the original cell.
