  • Mitosis vs. Meiosis: How Gametes Are Formed
    This question is a bit tricky! Here's why:

    * Mitosis doesn't create gametes. Mitosis is the process of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells. It's used for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.

    * Gametes (sex cells like sperm and egg) are created by meiosis. Meiosis is a specialized cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in half, producing four genetically unique gametes.

    To answer your question more directly:

    * Mitosis doesn't create gametes, so there are no gametes at the end of mitosis 2.

    * After meiosis II, each parent cell becomes four gametes.
