What cells are produced by meiosis?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the types of cells that result from the process of meiosis, which is a type of cell division that creates gametes for sexual reproduction.
Answer
Haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells)
The final answer is haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells).
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells).
More Information
Meiosis results in the formation of four genetically unique haploid cells, setting the stage for genetic diversity in offspring.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing meiosis with mitosis. Mitosis produces diploid cells, while meiosis produces haploid gametes.
