It is a nucleic acid and is made from building blocks called nucleotides. The process then repeats in what is called the cell cycle. Cell division (NIH image) Mitosis is how somatic--or non-reproductive cells--divide. Somatic cells.
You're thinking about Meiosis, which is the cell division that results in the gametes necessary for sexual reproduction.
Meiosis is a process by which haploid sex cells are produced.
The two parts of sexual reproduction are the male sex cells (sperm) and the female sex cells (eggs)
Meiosis results in the formation of the gametes. These sex cells are haploid.
meiosis results in the production of our specialized sex cell what for male and what for female
Reproductive system.
A sex cell is not meiosis. Meiotic cell division forms sex cells.
4 sperm cells

4 daughter sex cells with HALF the normal chromosomes as the parent cell.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four genetically unique sex cells.
A gamete, also called a sex cell, is a haploid cell that participates in fertilization by fusing with another haploid cell.
Meiosis is purely for the production of sex cells. When one cell undergoes meiosis, it turns into ethier 4 sperms cells for a male or 3 extra cells and 1 egg cell for a female.
Meiosis is the type of cell division that results in gametes (sex cells) that possess half the chromosome number of the parent cell. In other words, meiosis reduces the chromosome number by one-half.

Male gametes* --->Meiosis. (basic pre-biology in most all biology books)
