Question
Does Meiosis make (sex cells) asexually and why

Answer
Hi Mostafa
You may have a problem with your concepts of sexual and asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion gametes or cells that do not have paired chromosomes while cell division is an asexual process.  Sex cells are produced through an asexual process of Meiosis.
