In what type of cells does respiration?

Either sex cells or body cells. Sex cells perform mieosis, and body cels perform mitosis.


Does meiosis divide sex cells and body cells?

Meiosis is responsible for dividing sex cells (sperm and egg cells) into four non-identical haploid cells. It is not involved in dividing body cells, which go through mitosis for growth, repair, and maintenance of the body.


What kind of cells result from mitosis?

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. These daughter cells are genetically identical to each other and to the original parent cell.


Mitosis is a division of what?

All the cells that divide in your body, except for sex cells, which divide through meiosis, divide by mitosis.


What is the difference between cells produced by mitosis and meiosis?

Mitosis reproduces somatic cells, meiosis reproduces sex cells. Mitosis- Cell division involving body cells. Divides once. Meiosis- Cell division involving sex cells. Divides twice.


Why does your body go through mitosis?

Your body does not go through mitosis, but rather your cells do. The cells in your body go through mitosis to reproduce. This is how non-sex cells, or somatic cells make more of themselves. Sex cells do not go through mitosis, but instead go through meosis.


What happens druring mitosis?

Mitosis is the division of cells. It's when one cell becomes two, and two becomes four cells. Mitosis only occurs with body cells, not gametes/sex cells.


Are sperm cells and egg cells two kinds of sex cells?

Gamates are know as the sperm and egg or "sex cells". These cells are the only cells in the body that undergo meiosis, not mitosis.


What type of cell undergoes mitosis?

Mitosis is the form of cell division that most eukaryotic cells undergo. In humans, all somatic (non-sex) cells use mitosis to divide. Sex-cells use meiosis instead of mitosis.


Mitosis occurs in what types of cells?

Mitosis occurs in all somatic cells of the body, which are any cell that is not a sex cell. It is the process by which a single cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes.
