Explanation:
Formation of the germ cells (the sperm and egg), however, involves a unique type of cell division (meiosis) in which only one member of each chromosome pair is transmitted to each progeny cell (Figure 3.2). Consequently, the sperm and egg are haploid, containing only one copy of each chromosome.
