Even if there was that kind of sex cell, I don't think it would survive! Sex cells ALWAYS have 46 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis, as long as there are no mistakes, each sperm or egg cell would have 23 chromosomes.

What is the number of cell division in meiosis?
2 Cell divisions. The first, meiosis I, separates the homologous chromosomes after allowing for crossing over. The second, meiosis II, separates each chromosome by splitting them by their telomeres!
What happens to chromosomes during Meiosis 2?
the chromosomes pairs line in the center of the cell the chromosomes pairs line in the center of the cell
Why does meiosis require two cellular divisions?
Meiosis is divided into Meiosis I and Meiosis II because the initial cell divides twice producing four genetically different sex cells (gametes) Each time a cell divides, it goes through Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. See the link below for a diagram showing the process.
How many chromosomes would a cell have during metaphase 1 of meiosis if it has 12 chromosomes during interphase?
Meiosis is known as a reduction division. The total number of chromosomes present prior to meiosis is reduced in half at the end of meiosis. In this case 12 pairs of chromosomes before meiosis (a total of 24 chromosomes) becomes 12 chromosomes (one of each pair) at the end of meiosis.
When does the meiosis occurs?
It's a sort of cell-division in which the cell's number of chromosomes is divided in half. This means the cell produced from meiosis has 23 chromosomes instead of the normal 46. This is used in the creation so-called gametes, the cells which we use for reproduction.For example, the male gamete - the sperm cell - has 23 chromosomes. When the sperm cell joins up with the female egg cell, the two combine and the resulting cell-divisions produce cells with "normal" number of chromosomes: 46.Meiosis should not be confused with mitosis.

What did Walter Fleming identify during cell divisions?
chromosomes
What stage of meiosis is when chromosomes line up in the center of the cell?
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during meiosis.

How many divisions occur in meiosis?
Meiosis does in fact divide twice, once in meiosis I (cytokinesis) and meiosis II (cytokinesis) basically it divides into four daughter cells at the end of meiosis. Two from meiosis I and four in meiosis II
What happens to cell and chromosomes during meiosis?
Cell division takes place in the cells and chromosomes line up along the center of the cell
How many chromosomes would a cell have during metaphase 1 of meiosis if it has 12 chromosomes during interphase?
Meiosis is known as a reduction division. The total number of chromosomes present prior to meiosis is reduced in half at the end of meiosis. In this case 12 pairs of chromosomes before meiosis (a total of 24 chromosomes) becomes 12 chromosomes (one of each pair) at the end of meiosis.
What is the number of Cell division meiosis?
There are 2 cell divisions in meiosis.
What is the number cell division in meiosis?
There are 2 cell divisions in meiosis.
Why do gametes have n numbers of chromosomes but not 2n?
Gametes are produced by the type of cell division called meiosis. During meiosis the number of chromosomes are halved. So if a cell starts off with 2n chromosomes and divides by meiosis the new cells will end up with n chromosomes.
