Unlike mitosis. which is a specific cell division process where the organism's somatic or body cells are grown and made more and more of, upon their chromosomal content being duplicated. In meiosis, this process of cell growth is primarily for sex cells or gametes, these normally are haploid and thus possess half of the chromosomal count or number of chromosomes than compared to the original somatic or body cell, the production of sex cells varies and in male mammals it would produce gametes which are sperm.
