Neither. The union of a sperm and egg is called fertilization. Both sperm and egg cells are sex cells that are produced through meiosis.

Which cells are known NOT to do mitosis?
gametic (sperm or egg) cells do not carry out mitosis, instead they carry out meiosis. Mitosis gives a diploid number of chromosomes to each cell, meiosis gives a haploid number.
What are 2 parts of meiosis that are similar to mitosis?
The part of meiosis that is similar to mitosis is inter-phase.
Which cells use meiosis instead of mitosis?
All somatice ( that is body cells) use mitosis. Only gamates (sex cells) use meiosis to produce the egg cell that is produced by the females ovaries or the sperm cell that is produced by the male testies.
Do wounds heal because of meiosis?
no. meiosis is only for the production of gametes (sperm or egg cells). growth and repair of the body is done through mitosis
Use the following terms to create a concept map meiosis eggs cell division X chromosomes mitosis Y chromosomes sperm and sex cells?
Sperm enters the egg; egg turns because the 2 cells egg and sperm use mitosis to make more cells.

Are gametes in fungi meiosis or mitosis?
SomaticSomatic cells reproduce by mitosis. Gametes are produced by mieosis
Use the following terms to create a concept map meiosis egg cell division x chromosome mitosis y chromosomes sperm and sex cells?
Sperm enters the egg; egg turns because the 2 cells egg and sperm use mitosis to make more cells.
What kind of cells does the process mitosis and meiosis make?
Meiosis cell division is where the egg and sperm cells are created. Mitosis cell division is where two identical daughter cells are formed.
Which cells use meiosis instead of mitosis?
All somatice ( that is body cells) use mitosis. Only gamates (sex cells) use meiosis to produce the egg cell that is produced by the females ovaries or the sperm cell that is produced by the male testies.
How cell replication?
Cells replicate for many reasons, they replicate by a process of mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis producing two daughter cells and meiosis producing gamete cells (sperm or ovum(egg) )
Do wounds heal because of meiosis?
no. meiosis is only for the production of gametes (sperm or egg cells). growth and repair of the body is done through mitosis
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.
Use the following terms to create a concept map meiosis eggs cell division X chromosomes mitosis Y chromosomes sperm and sex cells?
Sperm enters the egg; egg turns because the 2 cells egg and sperm use mitosis to make more 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 do chromosomes do in meiosis not mitosis?
In mitosis, the end result is a DIPLOID chromosome. In meiosis, which is the process of forming new gametes (sperm and egg), the chromosomes split longitudinally at the centromere, resulting in a gamete which is HAPLOID, ie, it only has 50% of the normal number of chromosomes. When the egg and sperm unite, the resulting fertilized egg now has been restored to a diploidy.
