do egg cells undergo meiosis

Yes, egg cells do undergo meiosis. Meiosis is the process of cell division that occurs in specialized cells called germ cells to produce gametes, which are the reproductive cells (sperm cells in males and egg cells in females). Meiosis involves two rounds of division, resulting in the production of four haploid cells (cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell). Therefore, egg cells are the result of meiosis and are haploid cells.
