The creation of sex cells occurs in meiosis. Explain what happens when a new organism is created and life begins.
Answer: meiosis is a process of cell division that produces sex cells, or gametes. Gametes are reproductive cells such as the sperm and egg. As gametes are produced, the number of chromosomes must be reduced by half because the zygote that is created from the sperm and egg must contain information from both the mother and father, so the gametes must contain half of the chromosomes found in normal body cells

Good, as far as it goes. At conception, the two haploid cells join to create a diploid cell, the start of a new organism.
