Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Whereas somatic cells undergo mitosis to proliferate, the germ cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (the sperm and the egg).
Detailed explanation-2: -Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm cell development. Rounded immature sperm cells undergo successive mitotic and meiotic divisions (spermatocytogenesis) and a metamorphic change (spermiogenesis) to produce spermatozoa.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis occurs only in the sex cells (also known as gametes) of an organism. This would include the sperm cells and egg cells in males and females respectively.
