Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the male, meiosis takes place after puberty. Diploid cells within the testes undergo meiosis to produce haploid sperm cells with 23 chromosomes. A single diploid cell yields four haploid sperm cells through meiosis. In females, meiosis begins during the fetal stage when a series of diploid cells enter meiosis I.
