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.

∙ 13y agoNo. Mitosis does. Meiosis only produces sex cells; while mitosis produces all other body cells. Mitosis produces haploid cells, and meiosis produces diploid cells (sperm and egg).

A body cell is not a product of meiosis it's the product of mitosis.

What would happen if meiosis doesn't occur in sexual reproduction?
Meiosis is the most important biological process in all advanced plants and animals. If this process did not occur, the production of the sex cells would not occur. This is also referred to as a type of chromosome reduction division. Hence, that is how the sexual cells (gametes) have only half the number of chromosomes as the other body cells of that organism. So if meiosis didn't occur, sexual reproduction could not occur.
What happens when egg and sperm are formed in meiosis?
That would be called pregenant in most languages.
Where does mitosis occur in the body?
mitosis occures everywhere in the body, most people get mitosis mixed up with meiosis but meiosis is the process of mitosis doubled, meiosis happens mainly in the sex cells suck as sperm, and in the development process of a embryo, zygote, and fetus, etc.
Do females form 4 eggs at the end of meiosis?
Not in all species. Although at the end of meiosis there are 4 daughter cells, not all of these are always eggs.In most animals, females produce one mature ovum (egg) and three "polar bodies" from oogenesis (meiosis).
Does polar body formation occur in meiosis in males?
Polar bodies are made in the female. Through the process of oogenesis, a primary oocyte goes through Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Of the four cells created, one cell gets the most cytoplasm and is more likely to survive. This egg is called the "ovum". The other three cells which are not made are called polar bodies.
Where do cells undergo meiosis?
The body of cells that undergo meiosis are sex cells. The two sex cells found in most eukaryotic organisms are sperm cell and egg cell.
Do all cells undergo meosis?
No. Humans undergo mitosis, because two daughter cells contain the same genetic makeup as the parent cellOf course germ cells undergo meiosis. They produce sperms and ova

Which body tissues produce prostaglandins?
Most cells, in all body tissues, have the ability to produce protstaglandins.

What are these terms 'meiosis and mitosis' in cellular biology?
Mitosis refers to the process of cellular reproduction of somatic (body) cells. All the cells of the body, with the exception of sperm and egg cells, reproduce this way. Meiosis is the production of germ cells (sperm and egg) in most animals and plants, to include humans. There is a lot more involved in each process; for instance, mitosis involves a number of steps (4-5 depending upon what is included) to get the chromosomes tightly wound so they will be easier to separate, chromosomal migration to the "equator" of the cell, formation of spindle fibers to attach to the centromere of each chromosome, etc. The same goes for meiosis, with additional steps to produce the germ cells with half the chromosomal compliment of somatic cells.
Why do you have bone marrow in your bone?
I have bone marrows in my bones because they produce most of the cells in our body like the white and red blood cells which are essential in my body.
In what types of organisms does meiosis occur?
Animals, plants, some algae, most fungi, and some protists.
How many chromosomes are in the daughter cell in meiosis II?
The four daughter cells of meiosis II are haploid, so they will have half the number of chromosomes as the diploid parent cell. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes in the diploid body cells, and 23 chromosomes in the haploid daughter cells of meiosis II. In females, one of the four daughter cells will contain the most cytoplasm and organelles, and will form an egg cell. In males, all four daughter cells will form sperm cells.
Of nucleic acids carbohydrates proteins and lipids which do cells produce the most of and why?
Cells produce the most proteins because they primarily make up the human body. All our phenotypes (traits) are expressed from DNA by proteins.
