What is the division of cells to create germ cells called?
The division of cells to create germ cells is called meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces reproductive cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, which is essential for sexual reproduction.
What produces haploids?
Meiosis. Germ-line or reproductive cells must only contain one of every gene so that when the male cell and the female cell combine, the result is a diploid cell that can continue to utilize mitosis in order to create a new life.
Why are germ cells haploid while gametes are diploid?
Germ cells are haploid because they have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells, which is necessary for sexual reproduction. When germ cells combine during fertilization to form a zygote, the resulting cell is diploid with a full set of chromosomes. This ensures genetic diversity and the ability to adapt to changing environments.
Why sexual reproduction also called germinal reproduction?
because sexual reproduction involves the germ cells
What are female germ cells called?
ovaries. it's the female germ(gamete) cells. :)
Which cell leads directly to haploid cells?
the diploid cells is directly leads to the haploid cell
What is the opposite of female germ cells?
a male germ cell
What produces gametes cells?
germ cells
What are sperm cells called?
germ cells
What is produced from diploid germ cells by meiosis?
4 Haploid gametes. In Meiosis, germ cells first undergo a mitosis like division which produces 2 diploid germ cells. After that division, they undergo a second division in Meiosis 2, without first replicating their chromosomes. The end result is 4 haploid gametes.
Why do pollen grains have germ cells?
Pollen grains contain germ cells (sperm cells) that are essential for fertilizing the egg cell in the ovule of a flower, leading to seed production. The germ cells are the male gametes that are responsible for the sexual reproduction of plants.
What cells initiate spermatozoa production?
Germ cells
