yes, Meiosis (i/maɪˈoʊsɨs/) is a special type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction in eukaryotes. The cells produced by meiosis are gametes or spores. In many organisms, including all animals and land plants (but not some other groups such as fungi), gametes are called sperm and egg cells.

∙ 7y agomitosis occurs in somatic cells , not meiosis
Meiosis halves the chromosomal number. Mitosis maintains same chromosomal numberWiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, in the sense that it produces cells in the body. However, mitosis does not complete the cell multiplying process. It is the second stage.

∙ 13y agoYes; No somatic cells generally undergo mitosis and generative cells undergo meiosis.

Is samotic cell both mitosis and meiosis?
Somatic cells undergo mitosis. Sex cells undergo meiosis.
Are sex cells undergoing mitosis?
Your "germ" (or sex, but I prefer germ) cells undergo mitosis to create more diploids, but then they undergo Meiosis I to form a haploid. In boys, the germ cells will undergo Meiosis II to form their complete germ cells. In girls, the cell will only complete Meiosis II if the egg is fertilized. So the answer is sort of yes... the diploids will undergo Mitosis, but to actually get germ cells... they must undergo Meiosis.
Is somatic cells associated with meiosis?
no. somatic cells are all cells of the body that are not gametes. meiosis only involves the production of gametes. not somatic cells
Do all cells undergo meosis?
No. Humans undergo mitosis, because two daughter cells contain the same genetic makeup as the parent cellOf course germ cells undergo meiosis. They produce sperms and ova
What type of cell undergoes mitosis?
Mitosis is the form of cell division that most eukaryotic cells undergo. In humans, all somatic (non-sex) cells use mitosis to divide. Sex-cells use meiosis instead of mitosis.
Is samotic cell both mitosis and meiosis?
Somatic cells undergo mitosis. Sex cells undergo meiosis.
Cell type which undergoes process meiosis?
Germ cells undergo meiosis to form the gametes.
What cells carry out mitosis?
Only somatic/autosomal cells. Sex cells or cells of the germ line undergo meiosis.
Why all somatic cells undergo mitosis and some cells in the gonads undergo meiosis?
this is because there all the same type of cell and so somatic diseases are passed on by not mutating the gene and if a somatic diseseases can mutate to become zombies
Are sex cells undergoing mitosis?
Your "germ" (or sex, but I prefer germ) cells undergo mitosis to create more diploids, but then they undergo Meiosis I to form a haploid. In boys, the germ cells will undergo Meiosis II to form their complete germ cells. In girls, the cell will only complete Meiosis II if the egg is fertilized. So the answer is sort of yes... the diploids will undergo Mitosis, but to actually get germ cells... they must undergo Meiosis.
What is meiosis and which cells can undergo meiosis?
Somatic cells (body cells) undergo mitosis. An example of this could be a skin cell, as the skin cell replacing the dying skin cell must be an exact clone.Sex cells (gametes) undergo meiosis.Because meiosis results in half the number of chromosomes in it's daughter cells, gametes are the only cells that undergo meiosis in the body.
What boby cells undergo meiosis?
Body cells do not undergo meiosis. Reproductive cells undergo meiosis, body cells, mitosis.
Do blood cells undergo meiosis?
no. only the cells in the gonads which are to become gametes undergo mitosis. blood cells, like all cells but gamete cells are called somatic and only divide by mitosis.
Mitosis happen's where?
Mitosis happens in the body cell'sIt happens in somatic cells. Only sex cell producing cells undergo meiosis
Is somatic cells associated with meiosis?
no. somatic cells are all cells of the body that are not gametes. meiosis only involves the production of gametes. not somatic cells
Do all cells undergo meosis?

What type of cells undergo meiosis?
Cells which produce gametes (sex cells) undergo meiosis.
