Many organisms use mitosis and meiosis. Namely, all eukaryotes probably use mitosis and meiosis. Only bacteria (prokaryotes) would not divide by mitosis and have no mechanism for meiosis as their chromosomes differ from those of eukaryotes.
But eukaryotes all have the capacity for mitosis and meiosis. Eukaryotes include all animals, plants, protists and fungi.
Thus, since pigs are animals (and are thus eukaryotes), then indeed they have cells that divide by mitosis and meiosis. Their body cells (somatic cells) divide by mitosis (for growth and repair). Their gametes (sperm cells and ova) are produced by meiosis as these cells must be divided to a haploid form before copulation and fertilisation. Two haploid gametes would fuse (fertilisation) to restore the resulting cell (zygote) to a diploid form. The zygote grows into a new piglet via mitosis.

Do jellyfish use mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis
Do clown fish use mitosis or meiosis?
both. mitosis is for skin and meiosis is for reproduction
What two cell division process use DNA replication?
Mitosis and Meiosis
What are The faces of mitosis and meiosis?
there are no faces in mitosis and meiosis but there are phases
Do human use mitosis or miosis?
Humans use both- mitosis to grow, meiosis to form sex cells for reproduction.

What two cell division process use DNA replication?
Mitosis and Meiosis
Does bacteria and protists use mitosis and meiosis?
NoBacteria cannot under go meiosis or mitosis. Protists can undergo them
Why doesnt bacteria reproduce by mitosis?
it does use mitosis, it doesn't reproduce by meiosis.
What are The faces of mitosis and meiosis?
there are no faces in mitosis and meiosis but there are phases
How many cells do you end up with after mitosis and meiosis?
After mitosis you have two cells and after meiosis you have 4 cells.
What are 3 things Meiosis and Mitosis have in common?
Meiosis and Mitosis both use centrioles, they both have the same process(except for a few other steps in Meiosis) and they both split cells.
Do human use mitosis or miosis?
Humans use both- mitosis to grow, meiosis to form sex cells for reproduction.
Does cell replacement occur in mitosis or meiosis?
Its meiosis. Mitosis is cell division.
Meiosis II is similar to which process?
Meiosis II is identical to Mitosis. Meiosis is split into two stages, Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis I is similar to mitosis however the cells resulting from it have half as many chromosomes as the parent cell.
Before mitosis or meiosis DNA coils into what?
Before mitosis and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.
