Detailed explanation-1: -Sex cells are formed through a particular kind of cell division called meiosis. Unlike in normal cell division (mitosis), the genetic material of the original (parent) cell is divided up twice. As in most other cells in the body, the nucleus of the original cell contains the person’s full set of genetic information.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis is a type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in gametes (the sex cells, or egg and sperm). In humans, body (or somatic) cells are diploid, containing two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent).

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis is the division of a diploid cell to form haploid daughter cells. It takes place to make sure that each generation has the same number of chromosomes. Meiosis occurs in the cells of reproductive organs ( testes in males, and ovaries in females)
