Sperm and egg cells are made in meiosis.

Ruben Mcfarland · Answer 2

C. (3rd) Sperm and egg cells are made during meiosis.

Explanation:

Sperm and egg cells have as many chromosomes as any other kind of cell. - > No. Because sperm and egg cells are haploid while other types of cells are diploid. Sperm and egg cells are made during mitosis. - > No. Sperm and egg cells are made during meiosis; mitosis isn't correct because it would produce new diploid (46) cells while sperm and egg cells are 23 (haploid). [If that wasn't the case people wouldn't have children because they would have 92 chromosomes instead of 46) ]. Sperm and egg cells are about the same size. - > No. Sperm cells are a lot smaller that egg cells.
