The final ovum must have all the cellular organelles and nutrients to function as a viable cell, because the fertilizing sperm will only deliver the paternal DNA to the ovum. If during meiosis the cellular organelles and cytoplasm were split among all four daughter cells, no one cell would be able to support fertilization.

How does the function of mitosis differ from the function of meiosis?
Mitosis makes new cells that are used during growth, development, repair, and asexual reproduction. Meiosis makes cells that enable an organism to reproduce sexually and happens only in reproductive structures.
What process of cell division creates diploid cells and what process creates haploid cells?
Mitosis makes diploid cells or stomatic cells which are cells with 2 haploid sets of chromosomes. These are your normal body cells. every cell in you body besides the gametes are diploid and have 46 chromosomes. Meiosis makes haploid cells which only have 23 chromosomes or one set of chromosomes. Haploid cells are your gametes or reproductive cells and meiosis only happens in your gonads or reproductive organ.
The pairing of homologous chromosomes before nuclear division happens in what type of cell division?
only in meosis
What is a sentence using the word meiosis?
Only sex cells go through meiosis.
What process occurs only in the information of gametes?
During the formation of gametes - a process called gametogenesis - meiosis is a process which only occurs during this period. Meiosis is a special type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction.
Coud the formation of a zygote occur during meiosis?
Meiosis generates gametes (sperm and eggs cells). The combination of the gametes makes the zygotes. So, the process meiosis produces only half of a zygote.

What occurs only in the gonads mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis

Can meiosis occur anywhere in the body?
Meiosis can only ocur in sex cells

only in meosis

Why are there two sets of phases during meiosis but only one during meiosis?
burr

Meiosis only occurs in?
nucles
What does meiosis produce in gamete?
Meiosis produces gametes which have only one set of chromosomes for that species.
What occurs in plants and animal mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis. Meiosis is only concerned in sex cells.
