Meiosis is responsible for dividing sex cells (sperm and egg cells) into four non-identical haploid cells. It is not involved in dividing body cells, which go through mitosis for growth, repair, and maintenance of the body.

Identical. Meiosis, on the other hand, creates genetically different cells.

Where do cells undergo meiosis?

Cells undergo meiosis in the reproductive organs of organisms, such as the testes in males and ovaries in females. In these organs, germ cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes (sperm and eggs) for sexual reproduction.


If the body cells of an organism have 10 chromosomes then the sex cells produced during meiosis would have?

If the body cells have 10 chromosomes, the sex cells produced during meiosis would have 5 chromosomes. This is because meiosis involves two rounds of cell division, resulting in cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original body cells.
