What type of cell undergose meiosis?
Meiosis only occurs in sex cells, which are the sperm and egg cells. Mitosis occurs in the somatic, or body, cells.
Is it true that meiosis occurs in body cells?
Yes, this is how sex cells are made.
What occurs in plants and animal mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis. Meiosis is only concerned in sex cells.
Where does meiosis occur in humans?
In human males, meiosis occurs in the sperm sex cells. This usually occurs in the testes of the human male.
Occurs in both plants and animals mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis. Meiosis is only concerned in sex cells.
When does your body undergo meiosis?
Only sex cells such as sperm and eggs undergo meiosis. This occurs at puberty.
What process occurs in the formation of sex cells of both male and female?
meiosis
What parts of your body does meiosis occur?
Meiosis occurs in the reproductive cells (gametes) of the body, such as egg cells in females and sperm cells in males. It does not occur in other somatic cells of the body.
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.
What happens in miosis?
A cell divide into four sex cells with half of the chromosomes. Meiosis only occurs in the genital with sex cells.
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.
In which organs does meiosis occur?
Meiosis is a form of cell division which occurs in the gonads (sex organs). The main difference between mitosis and meiosis is that meiosis involves two divisions and results in 4 'daughter cells' whereas mitosis only involves one division and results in two 'daughter cells' Meiosis is important as it produces cells for reproduction (gametes), and the number of chromosomes in each of the daughter cells is half the number of the original cell so that when fertilization occurs, the normal number of chromosomes is restored.
