What produces gametes in mitosis?
No, meiosis is the production of sex cells or, as you said, gamete cells. Mitosis is the production of all the other cells (somatic cells).
What body system produces diploid and haploid cell by meiosis in humans?
For this Q'n the A. is that 'no such' system exists. Meiosis produces haploid gametes in all Eukaryotic Cells. For an application of diploid chromosomes see Mitosis.
Does meiosis produce most of the body cells?
The only body cell that can under go meiosis, is sex cells, or gametes. Meiosis is the process in which cell division occurs to produce only reproductive cells. Autosomes, or body cells that do not determine gender, under go a cell division called mitosis, but never through the process of meiosis, except for reproductive cells.
Which type of cell division is used during the production of spores?
2n sporophyte produces spores by meiosis and the n gametophyte produces gametes by mitosis -Inquiry into Life - eleventh edition aka my high school honors biology book: page 178 i think its meiosis...
Does the cell divide in two during mitosis?
No, because gametes do not divide. Specific cells called "germ cells" give rise to gametes through a process called meiosis. After that gametes do not divide again and simply wait until an opportunity arises in which they can pair up with their other gamete cell and form a zygote.
Are gametes produced by meiosis or mitosis?
In animals, gametes are formed only through meiosis. Mitosis does not produce gametes. However, in autotrophs, spores composed of gametes go though mitosis to produce a gametophyte.
What produces gametes in mitosis?
No, meiosis is the production of sex cells or, as you said, gamete cells. Mitosis is the production of all the other cells (somatic cells).
Are gametes in fungi meiosis or mitosis?
SomaticSomatic cells reproduce by mitosis. Gametes are produced by mieosis
What type of cell division produces gametes?
Meiosis. Mitosis is in somatic sells(non gametes/non sex cells) , and meiosis occurs in gametes/sex cells.
What are the functions of meiosis but not mitosis in eukaryotes?
The form of cell division that produces animal gametes is meiosis, not mitosis. The production of gametes in plants is a function of both mitosis and meiosis.
Does mitosis results in four haploid gametes?
No - mitosis results in two genetically identical diploid cells.Meiosis creates four haploid cells.
Why must meiosis and mitosis be used to produce gametes?
Meiosis and not mitosis must be used to produce gamete. This is because meiosis produces spores that are used for reproduction and can form similar copies to the parent cell.
Why must gametes undergo meiosis instead of mitosis?
Gametes don't undergo Meiosis, but are CREATED in Meiosis.Gametes should be haploid. Otherwise chromosomal number will be doubled in offspring
What type of cell division produces diploid cells?
Meiosis produces haploid cells from a diploid cell
What does meiosis create?
Mieosis is a cell division which produces gametes.
Where are the gametes produced in men and women?
Male gametes are made in the testis. male gametes are more-often called sperm.
What body system produces diploid and haploid cell by meiosis in humans?
For this Q'n the A. is that 'no such' system exists. Meiosis produces haploid gametes in all Eukaryotic Cells. For an application of diploid chromosomes see Mitosis.
