Answer:

All cells arise from other cells through the process of cell division. Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that produces reproductive cells, such as plant and fungal spores and sperm and egg cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, this process involves a "parent" cell splitting into two or more "daughter" cells. In this way, the parent cell can pass on its genetic material from generation to generation.
