Meiosis takes place in diploid cells. These are cells which have pairs of chromosomes. For example, in humans there are 23 pairs of chromosomes in the body cells. During meiosis the number of chromosomes is halved, so that haploidcells are produced. These are cells with only one chromosome from each pair. So in humans haploid cells contain 23 singlechromosomes. The haploid cells produced in humans (and other animals) are the sex cells or gametes. These are the sperm cell in males and the egg cell in females. When fertilization takes place the gametes fuse and the diploid number of chromosomes is restored. So the simple answer to your question is egg cells and sperm cells (in humans and other animals). For details of meiosis see http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/M/Meiosis.html However in plants the situation is slightly different. Here meiosis produces haploid spores which germinate to produce a haploid sporophyte. The sporophyte produces gametes by mitosis.

What else can I help you with?
How many daughter cells are formed after the process of meiosis?
Four daughter cells are formed after the process of meiosis. These daughter cells are genetically different from each other and from the parent cell due to the crossing over and independent assortment of chromosomes that occur during meiosis.
What type of cells are formed through the process of meiosis?
Meiosis forms sex cells, also known as gametes, such as sperm and egg cells.
Which cell type is formed by meiosis?
Meiosis forms haploid cells. This means that they have half the number of chromosomes as somatic (body) cells.
Two complete daughter cells are formed in what phase of meiosis?
Two complete daughter cells are formed in Meiosis II. Meiosis II follows Meiosis I where the two daughter cells produced by Meiosis I undergo further division to form a total of four haploid daughter cells.
What kind of cells does the process mitosis and meiosis make?
Mitosis produces cells that are identical to the original cell, called daughter cells. Meiosis forms cells with half the amount of genetic material, which are used in sexual reproduction to create gametes such as sperm and eggs.
What kind of cellular division forms sex cells?
Meiosis is the process by which sex cells are formed.
What name is given to the new cells formed after mitosis and meiosis?
the cells formed by mitosis and meiosis are called daughter cells.
What process is used to produce sperm cells and egg cells?
The cell is produced in the Testes, in a process called Meiosis what is meiosis?
How many daughter cells are formed after the process of meiosis?
Four daughter cells are formed after the process of meiosis. These daughter cells are genetically different from each other and from the parent cell due to the crossing over and independent assortment of chromosomes that occur during meiosis.
Are sperm and egg molecules?
no, they are cells that are formed from meiosis
What type of cells are formed through the process of meiosis?
Meiosis forms sex cells, also known as gametes, such as sperm and egg cells.
Which cell type is formed by meiosis?
Meiosis forms haploid cells. This means that they have half the number of chromosomes as somatic (body) cells.
Cells undergo meiosis to produce what kind of cells?
cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes which are also called your "sex" cells
What are sex cells formed by meiosis with only half the chromosomes?
Haploid cells
How many chromosomes are there in one of its reproductive cells formed by meiosis?
cells and genetics
What new cell is formed from meiosis in plants?
The process of meiosis produces pronography, also called sexual perversion.
What are two example of sex cells and how are they formed?
Sperm and Egg cells are formed by Meiosis.
