The two animal sex cells are called sperm and eggs. Sperm are the male reproductive cells, while eggs (or ova) are the female reproductive cells. Together, these cells are involved in sexual reproduction, where the sperm fertilizes the egg to form a zygote.
This is important because two sex cells become fertilized and join together to form the new organism. If sex cells had the same number of chromosomes as body cells, then offspring would have twice as many chromosomes as a normal animal would.

Animals cells are diploids, meaning they have 2 copies.
Plant cells don't have specific sex cells because they are asexual creatures. Asexual meaning they reproduce by means of the cell division or mitosis, not by one cell fertilizing another, like most animals cells do during meiosis.

When a cell reproduces by mitosis, the two identical new cells are called daughter cells.
This is important because two sex cells become fertilized and join together to form the new organism. If sex cells had the same number of chromosomes as body cells, then offspring would have twice as many chromosomes as a normal animal would.
The pinching in of the cell membrane in animal cells is called cytokinesis. This process is part of cell division and involves the physical separation of the two daughter cells.
meiosis.
The process is called meiosis. And those two cells are sex cells aka gametes.

No. Chromosomes are parts of cells, and sex cells are just one of many types of cells.
Animals cells are diploids, meaning they have 2 copies.
Plant cells don't have specific sex cells because they are asexual creatures. Asexual meaning they reproduce by means of the cell division or mitosis, not by one cell fertilizing another, like most animals cells do during meiosis.

Yes, meiosis is a type of cell division. But it is also called a reduction division. Instead of two daughter cells four cells are produced that have half the number of chromosomes. These cells are called gametes or sex cells.
Plant cells have chloroplasts and cell walls, which animal cells don't have.
