The kind of cell division which is common in reproduction is called meiosis. The cells contain 46 chromosomes, and then split in a process called meiosis, leaving 23 chromosomes in each egg. The same thing happens in males, giving 23 chromosomes in each sperm. When the sperm and egg unite, the genetic information combines, again resulting in 46 chromosomes.

The cell division that results in the formation of an egg is meiotic cell division.Mitosis does not form an egg inted it directly forms into a daughter cell.Meiosis cell division sex cells r formed.

the division in reproductive parts is called meiosis celldivision
and division of somatic or growth is called mitosis
obviously it is mitosis cell division coz the cell divides to grow

This specific division is known as oogenesis and the male equivalent is spermatogenesis. Unlike spermatogenesis, which produces four sperm cells, oogenesis only produces one ovum (the remaining three cells are known a 'polar' bodies).

its mitosis..the egg cell continually divides resulting to a multicellular being.
