Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes (sex cells), which are sperm cells in males and egg cells in females. Therefore, the types of cells that go through meiosis are germ cells, also known as gametes or sex cells.

Here's a breakdown:

* Germ cells: These are specialized cells that are destined to become gametes. They are found in the gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females).

* Gametes: These are the haploid cells (containing half the number of chromosomes as a normal cell) that are involved in sexual reproduction. They fuse together during fertilization to form a diploid zygote.

Other cells in the body, like somatic cells (muscle cells, skin cells, etc.), go through mitosis, a type of cell division that produces identical daughter cells.
