They go through a process called meiosis, which is similar to mitosis. Mitosis is the splitting of regular cells. Meiosis is the splitting of reproductive cells.
Yes, the cells that are involved in sexual reproduction divide by meiosis. This produces daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell (gametes).
Mitosis is the process that produces new 2N cells from 2N cells Meiosis is the process that produces 1N reproductive cells.
It is a nucleic acid and is made from building blocks called nucleotides. The process then repeats in what is called the cell cycle. Cell division (NIH image) Mitosis is how somatic--or non-reproductive cells--divide. Somatic cells.
Durring meiosis where do the twin chromosomes that split apart move to ?
The production of sex cells is called "gametogenesis." This makes sense since a gamete is a reproductive cell and "genesis" means creation or beginning. If the sex cells being produced are sperm the process is called "spermatogenesis" and if the sex cells being produced are eggs it is called "oogenisis."
During Meiosis, the process at which reproductive cells divide, the new daughter cells will have half the chromosomes as the parent cells. On the other hand, during mitosis, the division of body cells, after the process is over, the daughter cells will have the same amount of chromosomes as the parents.
Meiosis
mitosis or meiosis for reproductive cells.
Mitosis is the process that produces new 2N cells from 2N cells Meiosis is the process that produces 1N reproductive cells.
Cells which produce gametes (sex cells) undergo meiosis.
Every cell, except reproductive cells, in any living organism divide through mitosis. Reproductive cells divide through meiosis.

Meiosis II
It is a nucleic acid and is made from building blocks called nucleotides. The process then repeats in what is called the cell cycle. Cell division (NIH image) Mitosis is how somatic--or non-reproductive cells--divide. Somatic cells.
When a parent produces reproductive cells, sex cells undergo meiosis a process in which these specialized cells duplicate.

The production of sex cells is called "gametogenesis." This makes sense since a gamete is a reproductive cell and "genesis" means creation or beginning. If the sex cells being produced are sperm the process is called "spermatogenesis" and if the sex cells being produced are eggs it is called "oogenisis."
Meiosis occurs in sexual reproductive cells, Cells which are asexual goes through a conjugation process instead.
