Do you know which one of those choices is how sex cells (sperm and eggs) divide?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. I don't think so :(

Here's a quick bio tip that'll really help you out: There are two ways that cells divide: 1. Mitosis 2. Meiosis. Our body cells, like our skin cells and liver cells and almost EVERY cell in our body, divide using MITOSIS. Our sex cells, (sperm for guys, eggs for girls) divide using MEIOSIS. During MEIOSIS, the genes in our chromosomes switch all around, and change places with one another. They all go around to different chromosomes. Different places. This is called "crossing over." And it creates genetic variety.

okay.
