What type of cells does meiosis occur in?
A
Sperm Cells Only
B
Egg Cells Only
C
Both Gametes
D
Daughter Cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis only occurs in reproductive cells, as the goal is to create haploid gametes that will be used in fertilization.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Meiosis occurs in a diploid cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -A specialized division of chromosomes called meiosis occurs during the formation of the reproductive cells, or gametes, of sexually reproducing organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -In humans, they produce gametes, whereas, in plants, they produce plant spores. Meiosis is a process that occurs in sex cells, such as sperm and egg cells in the human body, to make more of them. In the primordial germ cells of males and females, meiosis takes place in the testes and ovaries, respectively.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
