Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of gametes (sex cells). Sperm (male gametes) and egg (female gametes) cells are produced through meiosis. Heart cells, neurons, and skin cells are somatic cells and are produced through mitosis, not meiosis. Mitosis is for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction (in some organisms), while meiosis is specifically for sexual reproduction to produce haploid gametes.
