Mitosis

Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. These reproductive cells are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis Consists of a Reduction Division and an Equational Division. Two divisions, meiosis I and meiosis II, are required to produce gametes (Figure 3). Meiosis I is a unique cell division that occurs only in germ cells; meiosis II is similar to a mitotic division.
