Yes. Germ Cells
have already undergone partial meiosis while a foetus is in the womb, but each egg finishes the process just before it's released for fertilisation.
What else can I help you with?
Where do cells undergo meiosis?
Cells undergo meiosis in the reproductive organs of organisms, such as the testes in males and ovaries in females. In these organs, germ cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes (sperm and eggs) for sexual reproduction.
After birth do the germ cells found in ovaries undergo meiosis?
No, germ cells found in the ovaries undergo meiosis before birth. During fetal development, these germ cells differentiate into oocytes and remain arrested in prophase I until puberty, when they may resume meiosis to eventually become mature eggs.
Can meiosis occur anywhere in the body?
No, meiosis only occurs in specialized cells called germ cells that are found in the reproductive organs (testes and ovaries). These cells are responsible for producing gametes (sperm and egg cells) through the process of meiosis.
What type of organs are the cell that enter meiosis you found?
Cells that enter meiosis are typically germ cells, which are specialized cells in the body that give rise to eggs or sperm. These cells have the ability to divide and produce gametes through the process of meiosis.
Which cells use meiosis instead of mitosis?
All somatice ( that is body cells) use mitosis. Only gamates (sex cells) use meiosis to produce the egg cell that is produced by the females ovaries or the sperm cell that is produced by the male testies.
Where does meiosis take place in a mushroom?
Meiosis in a mushroom takes place in the basidia, which are specialized cells found on the gills in the underside of the mushroom cap. Basidia undergo meiosis to produce spores, which are the reproductive cells of the mushroom.
Meiosis occurs in what cells?
Meiosis occurs in germ cells (sperm and egg cells) that are involved in sexual reproduction. It is a type of cell division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Where are eggs cells found?
In ovaries.
The diploid cells that eventually give rise to haploid sperm are known as?
spermatogonia. These are the diploid cells found in the testes that undergo mitosis followed by meiosis to produce haploid sperm cells.
Where are egg cells found on a women?
Egg cells are found in the ovaries of a woman. They are released during ovulation and can be fertilized by sperm to potentially form a zygote and develop into an embryo.
What are special cells found in the gonads that gives rise to gametes?
Germ cells are the special cells found in the gonads that give rise to gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females). These cells undergo a process called meiosis to produce haploid gametes, which are essential for sexual reproduction.
What cells undergo multiple divisions for apical growth or the growth at the tips of stems?
Meristem cells undergo multiple divisions for apical growth at the tips of stems. These cells are found in the shoot apical meristem and root apical meristem of plants, and continuously produce new cells for growth and development.
