Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Germ cells, also known as sex cells or gametes, undergo meiosis to produce four haploid cells with 23 chromosomes each. This is necessary for sexual reproduction since fertilization between two haploid cells will restore the diploid chromosome number (46 in humans) in the resulting zygote. Other cells in the body undergo mitosis, which produces two identical diploid cells with 46 chromosomes each.
