The phrase to fit into the blank is "sexual reproduction"!
In sexual reproduction each of the parents produces a gamete and contributes to half of the offspring's genes. This means that the offspring is a unique composition of the two parents.
In contrast, in a asexual reproduction, the offspring would likely have the same genetic code as the parent.

Meiosis is the process of cell division by which involving gametes. Cell division is just the same for sperm and egg cells, but they have distinguishable descriptions and labels in the process. Spermatogenesis is for the males’ sperm cells and oogenesis is the process for females’ egg cells. The cell division of meiosis involves the two phases, respectively meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I like mitosis is the cell division that produces diploid cells<span>. These diploid cells are cells that contain a complete pair of chromosomes which is 46. The result is two diploid cells after the first meiosis. To provide clear explanation, in contrast haploid cells only contain 23 chromosomes and are created after meiosis II which is 4 in number. </span>
