what process is used to make sperm cells and egg cells?
Unit 2 - Making Gametes (H) Cell division is one of the processes studied in GCSE Biology. This quiz focuses on one particular type, meiosis, which is used in the making of gametes. Gametes are the female and male sex cells - eggs and sperm. The gametes are made in the ovary and testes by a special type of reduction cell division called meiosis. Normal body cells contain 23 paired chromosomes giving a total of 46. Gametes only have one copy of each chromosome so instead of 46 they only have 23.
