A special cell division called meiosis produces gametes(sex cells).
Meiosis
meiosis
Meiosis is the type of cell division that results in gametes (sex cells) that possess half the chromosome number of the parent cell. In other words, meiosis reduces the chromosome number by one-half.
although it's nonsense but still , cell division is the phenomena by which cell divide by going thru cell cycle. it is done for growth , repair and formation of gametes
Four genetically different gametes.
meiosis
The type of cell division which leads to gametes is called meiosis. This results in four haploid daughter cells (cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell).Gametes themselves do not divide until after they have fused (during fertilization) and become a zygote. After this point they are no longer gametes - but the type of division that the zygote undergoes is mitosis.
Gametes are Haploid (N) - From a Diploid (2N) cell, a cell must go through meiosis - From another Haploid cell, mitosis must occur to produce another cell.
That is meiosis.

Meiosis. Mitosis is in somatic sells(non gametes/non sex cells) , and meiosis occurs in gametes/sex cells.

You're thinking about Meiosis, which is the cell division that results in the gametes necessary for sexual reproduction.
Male gametes* --->Meiosis. (basic pre-biology in most all biology books)
