When a parent produces reproductive cells, sex cells undergo meiosis a process in which these specialized cells duplicate.

The only body cell that can under go meiosis, is sex cells, or gametes. Meiosis is the process in which cell division occurs to produce only reproductive cells. Autosomes, or body cells that do not determine gender, under go a cell division called mitosis, but never through the process of meiosis, except for reproductive cells.
Reproductive cells are called gametes. In males, the gametes are called sperm and in females, the gametes are called eggs.
Mitosis makes new cells that are used during growth, development, repair, and asexual reproduction. Meiosis makes cells that enable an organism to reproduce sexually and happens only in reproductive structures.
The division of cells to create germ cells is called meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces reproductive cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, which is essential for sexual reproduction.
Meiosis is a process that produces haploid cells, such as gametes (sperm and egg), which have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This allows for genetic diversity and the formation of new combinations of genes in offspring.
In humans, the reproductive system is responsible for the production of sex cells (gametes). In the male, the sex cells are produced in the testes located in the scrotum. The process of sperm formation is called spermatogenesis. In the female, the sex cells are produced in the ovaries. The process of egg formation is called oogenesis.
The reproductive system is the organ system that produces two cells: the egg (ova) in females and sperm in males. These cells are involved in the process of fertilization to generate a new organism.
It produces 2 daughter cells with the exact same amount of chromosomes and genetics as the original cell.
The testes, or testicals, produce sperm cells.
