NEET BIOLOGY

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: -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-3: -Mitosis is essential for asexual reproduction, regeneration, and growth. It does not make sex cells or gametes.
