If we begin with 46 chromosomes, we're going to end up with cells that contain 46 chromosomes. However, in the process of meiosis, our gamethocide divides into four genetically different haploid cells. And that means if we begin with 46 chromosomes, the chromosome number will be divided by two. So we're going to end up with cells with Taploid cells that contain only 23 chromosomes. Now, in humans, our male gametocide is known as a spermatocide, while our female gametoside is known as the oocyte. Now, before meiosis actually takes place, and before the cell divides via meiosis, the cell undergoes a process known as interface, which is similar to the interface that takes place in somatic cells before they divide via mitosis.
