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.
Meiosis causes the chromosomes to separate and reduce their number in half during cell division.
The chromosomes number is halved during cell division through meiosis, not mitosis.
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.
Homologous chromosomes pair up during the stage of cell division called meiosis, not mitosis.
Chromosomes replicate during the S phase of interphase, before meiosis begins. This ensures that each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids, which are then separated during the meiotic divisions to produce haploid cells.
Meiosis causes the chromosomes to separate and reduce their number in half during cell division.
Chromosomes separate during cell division through a process called mitosis or meiosis. In mitosis, the duplicated chromosomes align at the center of the cell and are then pulled apart by the spindle fibers, ensuring each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes. In meiosis, the process is more complex, involving two rounds of divisions to produce gametes with half the number of chromosomes.

Meiosis occurs during the formation of gametes (sex cells) in sexually reproducing organisms. It consists of two cell divisions resulting in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

A cell undergoes two rounds of division during meiosis, resulting in a total of two divisions. This process helps to produce four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.

Homologous chromosomes pair up during the stage of cell division called meiosis, not mitosis.
Chromosomes replicate during the S phase of interphase, before meiosis begins. This ensures that each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids, which are then separated during the meiotic divisions to produce haploid cells.
During meiosis, a cell with half the normal number of chromosomes (haploid) is generated to eventually form gametes (sperm or egg). When two haploid gametes fuse during fertilization, they restore the full set of chromosomes (diploid) in the zygote. This zygote then undergoes mitotic cell divisions to produce cells with the normal number of chromosomes.

The first thing produced in meiosis is a cell with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, known as a haploid cell. This cell is formed during meiosis I, which involves the separation of homologous chromosomes.
