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 kind of cells does the process mitosis and meiosis make?
Meiosis cell division is where the egg and sperm cells are created. Mitosis cell division is where two identical daughter cells are formed.
How many daughter cells are formed after the process of meiosis?
After the completion of meiosis, four daughter cells are formed. These four daughter cells have haploid (half) number of chromosomes in them.
By what process are stomach cells formed?
meiosis
What kind and how many cells are formed in meiosis?
If your have a single parent cell during meiosis it will make 4 daughter cells. These cells are called gametes and if the parent cell is in a male they would make sperm cells an for a female it would make eggs
What is formed a the end of meiosis?
In meiosis diploid cells divide to produce four daughter cells each of which is haploid. It is the type of cell division required to produce gametes.
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 kind of cells does the process mitosis and meiosis make?
Meiosis cell division is where the egg and sperm cells are created. Mitosis cell division is where two identical daughter cells are formed.
How many daughter cells are formed after the process of meiosis?
After the completion of meiosis, four daughter cells are formed. These four daughter cells have haploid (half) number of chromosomes in them.
By what process are stomach cells formed?
meiosis
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?
What kind and how many cells are formed in meiosis?
If your have a single parent cell during meiosis it will make 4 daughter cells. These cells are called gametes and if the parent cell is in a male they would make sperm cells an for a female it would make eggs
Are sperm and egg molecules?
no, they are cells that are formed from meiosis
What kinds of cells are produced in the process of meiosis?
germ cells are formed in the process of meiosis.
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
Cells undergo meiosis to produce what kind of cells?
cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes which are also called your "sex" cells
