No, meiosis is the production of sex cells or, as you said, gamete cells. Mitosis is the production of all the other cells (somatic cells).
Germ cells undergo meiosis to form the gametes.
In humans, all the somatic cells (body cells) are diploid. However, gametes (sex cells) such as sperm and egg cells are haploid. Gametes have half the amount of genetic material than which is found in somatic cells. These are the only human cells which are not diploid.
diploid cells i think i might be wrong Somatic cells are diploid.
Somatic cells (regular cells) and gametes (sex cells) all grow in number through mitosis (for somatic cells) and meiosis (for gametes)
no. somatic cells are all cells of the body that are not gametes. meiosis only involves the production of gametes. not somatic cells
Since gametes are haploids, they would each contain haploid number of chromosomes, 15 chromosomes.
Your "germ" (or sex, but I prefer germ) cells undergo mitosis to create more diploids, but then they undergo Meiosis I to form a haploid. In boys, the germ cells will undergo Meiosis II to form their complete germ cells. In girls, the cell will only complete Meiosis II if the egg is fertilized. So the answer is sort of yes... the diploids will undergo Mitosis, but to actually get germ cells... they must undergo Meiosis.
somatic cells divide by mitosis. gametes, and sexual cell differentiation take place through meiosis.
Meiosis forms haploid cells. This means that they have half the number of chromosomes as somatic (body) cells.
No, meiosis is the production of sex cells or, as you said, gamete cells. Mitosis is the production of all the other cells (somatic cells).
Meiosis. Mitosis is in somatic sells(non gametes/non sex cells) , and meiosis occurs in gametes/sex cells.
SomaticSomatic cells reproduce by mitosis. Gametes are produced by mieosis
Germ cells undergo meiosis to form the gametes.
Meiosis produces gametes which have half the number of chromosomes that other cells of the body have.

Haploid cells are gametes, meaning they are reproductive cells. They have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Diploid (somatic) cells are in every part of the body other than the gametes. The have twice the amount of chromosomes as in haploid cells. Haploid cells reproduce using meiosis, while diploid cells use mitosis.a haploid cell has half the amount of chromosomes of a diploid cell. human germ cells are haploids (the egg and sperm) they each contain 23 chromosomes.
