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 haploid, meaning they have only one set of chromosomes. This is in contrast to somatic cells (body cells), which are diploid and have two sets of chromosomes.
* During meiosis, a diploid cell undergoes two rounds of division, resulting in four haploid daughter cells. These daughter cells are the gametes.
So, meiosis is the process that produces the nuclei of gametes.
