The purpose of meiosis is to produce gametes (sex cells) for sexual reproduction. During meiosis, diploid cells (cells with two sets of chromosomes) undergo two rounds of cell division to produce four haploid cells (cells with one set of chromosomes). These haploid cells are genetically different from each other and from the parent cell. The cells produced are called gametes, specifically sperm cells in males and egg cells in females.
