What is the only type of cell in which meiosis occur?
Sex cellsAlso known as gametes.In biology or life science, meiosis (pronounced my-oh-sis) is a process of reductional division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half. In animals, meiosis always results in the formation of gametes, while in other organism it can give rise to spores. The word "meiosis" comes from the Greek verb meioun, meaning "to make small," since it results in a reduction of the chromosome number.Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction and therefore occurs in all eukaryotes (including single-celled organisms) that reproduce sexually. A few eukaryotes, notably the Bdelloid rotifers, have lost the ability to carry out meiosis and have acquired the ability to reproduce by parthenogenesis. Meiosis does not occur in archaea or bacteria, which reproduce via asexual processes such as binary fission.During meiosis, the genome of a diploid germ cell, which is composed of long segments of DNA packaged into chromosomes, undergoes DNA replication followed by two rounds of division, resulting in four haploid cells. Each of these cells contain one complete set of chromosomes, or half of the genetic content of the original cell. If meiosis produces gametes, these cells must fuse during fertilization to create a new diploid cell, or zygote before any new growth can occur. Thus, the division mechanism of meiosis is a reciprocal process to the joining of two genomes that occurs at fertilization. Because the chromosomes of each parent undergo genetic recombination during meiosis, each gamete, and thus each zygote, will have a unique genetic blueprint encoded in its DNA. Together, meiosis and fertilization constitute sexuality in the eukaryotes, and generate genetically distinct individuals in populations.In all plants, and in many protists, meiosis results in the formation of haploid cells that can divide vegetatively without undergoing fertilization, referred to as spores. In these groups, gametes are produced by mitosis.Meiosis uses many of the same biochemical mechanisms employed during mitosis to accomplish the redistribution of chromosomes. There are several features unique to meiosis, most importantly the pairing and genetic recombination between homologous chromosomes.meiosis occurs in sex cells only while other somatic cells undergo mitosis. they cannot undergo meiosis
What thirteen letter word describes an organism that lives as a group of cells?
Multicellular
How is mitosis and me meiosis different?
Mitosis:is the process of asexual reproduction in eukaryotic cellsGoes through one stageMeiosis:is the process by which a diploid (2n) cell forms gametes (n)Goes through two stages:Stage 1:Late Interphase/ early prophase 1Late prophase 1Metaphase 1Anaphase 1Telophase 1end of meosis1 results in two haploid cellsStage 2:Prophase 2Metaphase 2Anaphase 2Telophase 2End of meiosis 2 results in four haploid cells (gametes) each with no duplicate chromosomes
How are haploid and diploid related to mitosis and meiosis?
Meiosis in simple terms is the process by which gametes (sperm and egg) fuse together to produce a fertilised egg. Haploid is a word that refers to how many chromosomes a certain cell has. In this case the gametes have a haploid number of chromosomes, which is half the number a normal cell has. A normal cell has a diploid number of chromosomes. So in meiosis the two gametes come together with their hapoid number of chromosomes each to create an egg that has a diploid (standard) number of chromosomes.
What is the missing word Stem cells retain the ability to into other types of cells.?
The missing word is 'change' (or something similar).
What is a sentence using the word meiosis?
Only sex cells go through meiosis.

What is the word where 2 cells divide?
Fission. There are two types: mitosis and meiosis.
How can you use the word mitosis in a sentence?
Mitosis is used as a noun in sentences. Nerve cells rarely undergo mitosis.
What is another word for meiosis?
reduction division. this is because the daughter cells end up with half the genetic material of their parent.
What three letter word is found in your cells?
DNA
What is meant by a daughter cell?
Two daughter cells are the result of mitotic cell division in which the parent cell nucleus undergoes mitosis, creating two genetically identical daughter nuclei, followed by cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm which results in two daughter cells, each with an identical nucleus.

The doctor was about to undergo surgery. The farmer was about to undergo harvesting. The builder was about to undergo the tall sky tower. I think you would undergo the point by now. :)
Use the word undergo in a sentence?
He will undergo surgery in the morning.We all have to undergo these examinations.
Is undergo a compound word?
yes it is a compound word.
How does a sperm cell differ from a somatic cell?
Germ cell mutations can be passed on to offspring, somatic cell mutations cannot
What is the Root word of undergone?
