Meiosis is required for sex cells to go from two sets of chromosomes (diploid) to having only one set (haploid).
The process that results in the formation of sex cells is called meiosis. During meiosis, a diploid cell divides twice to produce four haploid cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. This process is essential for sexual reproduction and genetic diversity.
The formation of male gametes or sperm cells is called spermatogenesis. This is a form a meiosis, in which four daughter cells are formed. The process takes places in the male reproductive organs, the testes. The female counterpart to this is called oogenesis, which produces one usable daughter cells, an oocyte or egg cell, (and three discarded cells called polar bodies) this process occurs in the ovaries.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sex cells, specifically in sperm cells in males and egg cells in females.
Mitosis occurs in all somatic cells of the body, which are any cell that is not a sex cell. It is the process by which a single cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes.
Meiosis formation of male gametes (sperm) occurs in the testes of animals, while meiosis formation of female gametes (eggs) occurs in the ovaries. These structures are specialized for the production and maturation of sex cells through the process of meiosis.

The formation of the female sex cell or egg occurs in the ovaries through a process called oogenesis. Oogenesis involves the maturation of primordial germ cells in the ovary into mature eggs or ova.

The process that produces haploid sex cells is mitosis.
Mitosis was first discovered and meiosis evolved out of mitosis. Mitosis stands for the first division of a cell into two genetic identically cells. Meiosis stands for two divisions into four genetic different cells.
Mitosis occurs in all somatic cells of the body, which are any cell that is not a sex cell. It is the process by which a single cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes.
Where sex cells are produced: meiosis Where sex cells unite: fertilization
Meiosis formation of male gametes (sperm) occurs in the testes of animals, while meiosis formation of female gametes (eggs) occurs in the ovaries. These structures are specialized for the production and maturation of sex cells through the process of meiosis.
Sex Cells (called Gametes) are made by a process called Meiosis.
