  • Gametes: Understanding the Result of Meiosis in Sexual Reproduction
    The final cells resulting from meiosis in either males or females are called gametes.

    Here's why:

    * Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces specialized reproductive cells called gametes.

    * Gametes are haploid cells, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes as a regular body cell (somatic cell).

    * In males, the gametes are called sperm.

    * In females, the gametes are called eggs (ova).

    The fusion of a sperm and egg during fertilization results in a diploid zygote, which will develop into a new organism.
