  • Meiosis: Understanding Cell Division for Gamete Formation
    The process of cell division that forms incomplete cells or gametes is called meiosis.

    Here's why:

    * Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in a cell by half. This is essential for sexual reproduction.

    * Gametes (sperm and egg cells) are the "incomplete cells" produced by meiosis. They have only half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

    * When two gametes fuse during fertilization, they create a zygote with a complete set of chromosomes.
