Meiosis is he process by which gametes (Sex cells) are produced, that contain half the number of gametes.

Explanation:

The question is not very clear what one wants to ask.

Meiosis is reduction division in which the daughter cells produced contain half the number of chromosomes of parental cell.

The daughter cells (haploid) produced as a consequence of meiosis are not always sex cells or gametes. In flowering plants, haploid cells produced by meiosis develop into meiospores , which are of two types, i.e. microspores and megspores.

Microspore and megaspore develop into male and female gametophyte, respectively , which are haploid.

The male and female gametophytes produce male and female gametes (sex cells) by mitosis.
