Do human use mitosis or miosis?
Humans use both- mitosis to grow, meiosis to form sex cells for reproduction.
Does the skin produce gametes?
No, However humans produce skin cells by mitosis and gametes by meiosis.
What are the difference between meiosis and mitosis?
in mitosis a parent cell divides into two daughter cells in which the chromosomes are replicated and distributed equally into daughter cells. while in meiosis a parent cell divides into four unequall daughter cells.
When do we have 46 chromosomes in meiosis or mitosis?
we have 46 chromosomes in Mitosis during interphase when the DNA doubles, but really Humans have 23 chromosomes. Meiosis is reproduction and goes through Mitosis twice but skips interphase the second time and creates gametes(sex cells) -Marina20
What body system produces diploid and haploid cell by meiosis in humans?
For this Q'n the A. is that 'no such' system exists. Meiosis produces haploid gametes in all Eukaryotic Cells. For an application of diploid chromosomes see Mitosis.
What is the difference between male mitosis and female mitosis for humans?
There is no difference, mitosis is the division of cells for the repair of damages areas, or growth, meiosis is different in male and females, mitosis isnt. Sources: An A in biology class
How do mitosis and meiosis differ among humans chickens and alligators?
Meiosis differ among humans and alligators because the number of chromosomes that is given from the parents.
Do human use mitosis or miosis?
Humans use both- mitosis to grow, meiosis to form sex cells for reproduction.
Does the skin produce gametes?
No, However humans produce skin cells by mitosis and gametes by meiosis.
What are similarities and differences of mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis vs. MeiosisBoth mitosis and meiosis are mechanisms that describe cell division. The difference is particularly noticeable when one looks at the DNA in the cell's nucleus. After mitosis, each of the daughter cells will have exact same DNA strands, while after meiosis each daughter cell will only have half of the DNA strands. (Sometimes the division is not exactly half/half, but that is not important for this answer). Because meiosis only has half the information that the parent cell had, the cell is (as far as we know) unable to reproduce by itself. The reason for meiosis is for reproduction of a multi-cellular organism as well as genetic diversity due to crossing over. One daughter cell (from the male of the species) will try to find a compatible daughter cell (from the female of the species) and fertilize it. This then becomes and embryo and the specie has successfully reproduced. And this is how you, the reader, came into existence.Other characteristics:Parent cell - full set of chromosomes in both mitosis and meiosis (2n).Number of divisions - mitosis 1; meiosis 2.Chromosome number of daughter cells - mitosis full set (2n) and meiosis half set (n).Crossing over - mitosis no; meiosis yesPaired homologues - mitosis no; meiosis yesDNA of daughter cells - mitosis identical to parent; meiosis daughter cells differentNumber of DNA replications - mitosis 1; meiosis 2Number of daughter cells - mitosis 2; meiosis 4Type of cells - mitosis somatic; meiosis sex cells
What are the difference between meiosis and mitosis?
in mitosis a parent cell divides into two daughter cells in which the chromosomes are replicated and distributed equally into daughter cells. while in meiosis a parent cell divides into four unequall daughter cells.
Why does a mitosis performing cell changes himself to perform meiosis?
Meiosis occurs in only the reproductive cells to form gametes (in humans... eggs and sperm). And it would be performed to perpetuate a species...

Is the DNA different or the same from the parent in mitosis?
First of all, mitosis happens in the body to replicate cells in the skin (for example). Meiosis happens in the sex organs, it makes gametes (sex cells). In mitosis, the one parent cell and the two daughter cells are genetically identical and they have the same number of chromosomes. In meiosis, the one parent cell and the four daughter cells are not genetically identical. The parent cell will have the full number of chromosomes but the daughter cells will only have half the normal number of chromosomes.
What is more common in humans meiosis or mitosis?
Mitosis occurs in our somatic cells and Meiosis occur in our reproductive cells, gametes Most of the time our body is under the influence of mitosis which replace the old and worn out cells with new one's whereas the Meiotic type of division occurs at a specific time in the life of an organism's development. The chromosome number in mitotic division remains the same whereas in meiotic division the chromosomes number is halved
Which cell divides once in mitosis?
Mitosis
