Question

How are gametes produced?

Answer 1

• Gametes are produced by Mitosis (not meiosis) and after fertilization a diploid zygote is created. The single zygote cell never grows or divides my mitosis. It can only divide by meiosis to produce haploid cells once more, which then produce the main adult body.

Answer 2

Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. These reproductive cells are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis. ... These cells develop into sperm or ova. The ova mature in the ovaries of females, and the sperm develop in the testes of males.
