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 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-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: -Gametes are formed through the process of meiosis.
