Explanation:
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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction to occur, as it results in the formation of gametes (sperm and eggs). However, sexual reproduction includes fertilization (the fusion between gametes), which is not part of the meiotic process.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is essential for asexual reproduction, regeneration, and growth. It does not make sex cells or gametes.
