A meiosis is a special kind of cell division that takes place in the gonads (testes and ovaries). The gamete cells reproduce to get four functional and all different cells. This results in four different sperms in males. However, in females, the other three are extremely small and gets reabsorbed back into the body and leaves only one functional cell which is the egg.
so the answer is sex cell

The egg and sperm combine [and 23+23=46 (the correct number of chromosomes in a human)]. In a fruit fly, [which has 8 body cell chromosomes] the gametes have 4 chromosomes.

∙ 11y agoAs the result of meiosis, haploid cells are produced. These have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cells. When cells divide, DNA is copied so each daughter cell has the same number and type of chromosomes (a clone).
When sex cells are produced, each cell has half the number. There are four of these sex cells in meiosis.
In mitosis there are two cells.

What type of cell division produces gametes?
Meiosis. Mitosis is in somatic sells(non gametes/non sex cells) , and meiosis occurs in gametes/sex cells.
Meiosis occurs in what cells?
Meiosis only occurs in Sex Cells found in men's testis and women's ovaries.
What are four ways in which meiosis different from mitosis?
Meiosis differs from mitosis in the following ways; meiosis produces four cells while mitosis two produces cells. Meiosis occurs in sex cells while mitosis occurs body cells.
What is the type of cell division that occurs in reproductive cells and has to division?
Meiosis occurs in reproductive cells and is called reduction division because of presence of single set of chromosomes. It results in the formation of four daughter cells. Meiosis is a source of new genetic variation.
What type of cell division produces diploid cells?
Meiosis produces haploid cells from a diploid cell
What type of cells does meiosis occur in?
Meiosis occurs in gametes or reproductive cells.
What type of cell undergose meiosis?
Meiosis only occurs in sex cells, which are the sperm and egg cells. Mitosis occurs in the somatic, or body, cells.
What is the type of cell division that occurs when reproductive cells and has two divisions?
Meiosis
What type of cell division produces gametes?
Meiosis. Mitosis is in somatic sells(non gametes/non sex cells) , and meiosis occurs in gametes/sex cells.
Meiosis occurs in what cells?
Meiosis only occurs in Sex Cells found in men's testis and women's ovaries.
What are four ways in which meiosis different from mitosis?
Meiosis differs from mitosis in the following ways; meiosis produces four cells while mitosis two produces cells. Meiosis occurs in sex cells while mitosis occurs body cells.
What would be produced by meiosis?
Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms. It produces haploid cells, which are also known as gametes.
What parts of your body does meiosis occur?
it occurs in the gametes, the sex cells. where mitosis occurs in all other cells that have two halves of chromosomes, meiosis occurs in cells which only have one half of the chromosomes.
What is the type of cell division that occurs in reproductive cells and has to division?
Meiosis occurs in reproductive cells and is called reduction division because of presence of single set of chromosomes. It results in the formation of four daughter cells. Meiosis is a source of new genetic variation.
Which type of cell division only occurs in organisms whose cells contain chromosomes?
If they are somatic (body cells) then mitosis. If they are germ (sex) cells it is meiosis.
Is it true that meiosis occurs in body cells?
Yes, this is how sex cells are made.
Where does meiosis occur in humans?
In human males, meiosis occurs in the sperm sex cells. This usually occurs in the testes of the human male.
