LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Whereas somatic cells undergo mitosis to proliferate, the germ cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (the sperm and the egg). The development of a new progeny organism is then initiated by the fusion of these gametes at fertilization.

Detailed explanation-2: -In humans, the products of meiosis are sperm or egg cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. 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 in males occurs during spermatogenesis in the seminiferous tubules of the testicles after puberty. The diploid cells present in the testes experience meiosis to produce haploid sperm cells having 23 chromosomes. One diploid cell gives 4 haploid sperm cells through the process of meiosis.
