germ cells are formed in the process of meiosis.
Haploid cellsGenetically different daughter cells.At the end of mitosis the cell is called CytokinesisGametes are produced at the end of meiosis
The male and female sex cells (sperms and ovaries respectively) undergo meiosis so that when they rejoin during fertilization, the zygote formed has the correct number of chromosomes. No other kinds of cells undergo meiosis.

The two kinds of haploid cells made in meiosis are sperm cells in males and egg cells (or ova) in females. These haploid cells are produced after two rounds of cell division during meiosis, resulting in cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Meiosis results in four haploid cells.
The male and female sex cells (sperms and ovaries respectively) undergo meiosis so that when they rejoin during fertilization, the zygote formed has the correct number of chromosomes. No other kinds of cells undergo meiosis.
Meiosis is a special kind of cell division that produces haploid (1n) cells. During meiosis, a single cell goes through two cell divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II.) Meiosis takes place only in the reproductive tissues of an organism.
Gamates are know as the sperm and egg or "sex cells". These cells are the only cells in the body that undergo meiosis, not mitosis.
Mitosis is the type of cell division which takes place during growth, repair and asexual reproduction. So the types of cells produced are normal body cells eg skin, brain, muscle, bone, liver etc, in other words they are not reproductive cells. Cells produced by mitosis are exact copies of the parent cell: they have the same number of chromosomes and the same genes. Reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) are produced by the alternative type of cell division called meiosis.
differentiation
Two identical daughter cells are produced at the end of a single mitotic division.
In all bodies, there two kinds of cells: sexual cells (espermatozoa and ovums) that combine through a process called meiosis to create a new cell with genetic properties from both of them. The meiosis give us life because of the unlimited variety of genetic binds and it only happens during the sex. And the other kind is the other cells called somatical cells that copy themselves through a process called mitosis. The cell divides in 2 "cells-children" with the same DNA than their "mother". The mitosis happens during all our life when a cell is dying and divides itself to keep the number.
