hi cute buddy

the easy answer of your question is ::;;;

Meiocyte is the cell that undergoes meiosis to form gamete. It is also known as germ cell.

in tuff your answer is;::;

 Germ, or sex, cells produce gametes—sperm and eggs in humans—by meiosis. This involves two divisions. During the first division, the chromosomes pair up and duplicate themselves, sometimes exchanging genes through a process called crossing over. The first division produces two cells, each with a full set of chromosomes. During the second division, the chromosomes in the two cells do not duplicate themselves. The second division produces four gametes, each containing only one chromosome from each chromosome pair, or only half the number of chromosomes characteristic of the species. The full complement of chromosomes is restored when a male gamete combines with a female gamete. For example, a human sperm and a human egg each contain 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the two gametes fuse, forming a cell with a complete set of 46 chromosomes. This new cell is called a zygote, and it is the beginning of a new organism.

⇒A meiocyte is a type of cell that differentiates into gamete by the process known as meiosis.

⇒Through meiosis, the diploid meiocyte divides into four genetically different haploid gametes.

⇒meiocyte   are always diploid and contain 23 pairs of chromosome and gametes are haploid contain only 23 chromosome.
