What type of cell division produce the sperm and egg cell?

it is formed by meiosis. At first the spermatazoa go through mitosis making two spermatocytes. which then goes through meiosis producing 4 spermatids which then go through spermogenisi n make 4 sperm cells


Why do you get sperm?

I get sperm for my biological purpose. That is, to sexually reproduce. If you are a male; I would assume that's the same reason why you get sperm. If your female; then I'm worried deeply about you. If you're wondering where sperm comes from or how it's made... I can tell you that it's made from the human body. Specifically, by the DNA which provides information to create the sperm cells (like a manual). The making of sperm is called spermatogenesis. Sperm are basically complex cells which simply contain the males genetic code. Sperm cells come from spermatogonium. Spermatogonium contains 46 chromosomes. It duplicates it DNA and divides by meiosis. One cell becomes a Spermatogonium (which will undergo this process again) and another becomes a primary spermatocyte, each cell has 46 chromosomes. The spermatocyte divides by meiosis to produce two secondary spermatocytes, each containing 23 chromosomes. These divide again to provide spermatids, each with 23 chromosomes. Then the spermatids differentiate into sperm cells, all containing 23 chromosomes which will be paired up with 23 others upon fertilization (sex). Spermatogenesis takes place in the testicles.


Which one could produce a sperm with two x chromosomes nondisjunction during meiosis 1 or nondisjunction during meiosis 2?

During meiosis I of a primary spermatocyte (an immature sperm cell that hasn't gone through either round of meiosis yet), the homologous chromosomes are supposed to separate, so the XX and YY chromosomes should separate into two different secondary spermatocytes (I wrote XX and YY since there are two sister chromatids for each chromosome). If non-disjunction occurs here, you'd get an one secondary spermatocyte with XXYY and one with no sex chromosomes (so, that's the answer to your question). During meiosis II, this sister chromatids separate (i.e. XX separates so that one X is given to each cell, and so on with the rest of the chromosomes). In the XXYY spermatocyte, one copy of X and one copy of Y go to each daughter cell as the sister chromatids separate. This results in two XY spermatids and two spermatids with no sex chromosomes being produced (as long as there isn't another non-disjunction). Then they eventually becoming a mature sperm. If one of those XY sperm ever makes its way to an egg and fertilizes it, you'd get an XXY zygote (which would usually be viable and always male). If one of the sex-chromosome-less sperm fertilizes an egg, the zygote would be X0 (female), but probably wouldn't be viable and die in utero.
