gametes

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Gametogenesis refers to the process of gamete production – oogenesis in the ovarian follicles and spermatogenesis in the testicular seminiferous tubules.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gametes are formed through meiosis (reduction division), in which a germ cell undergoes two fissions, resulting in the production of four gametes. During fertilization, male and female gametes fuse, producing a diploid (i.e., containing paired chromosomes) zygote.
