Somatic cells are the cells that form the body like skin, blood and bones. These type of cells go through the cell division process called mitosis. Gametes, or germline cells, like sperm and ova go a different cell division process called meiosis.

Is meiosis the cell division in eukaryotes that produce somatic cells?

No, meiosis is the cell division process that produces gametes (eggs and sperm) in eukaryotes. Somatic cells are produced through mitosis, a different type of cell division. Meiosis is specific to the creation of sexual reproductive cells.

What type of cells undergo mitosis in the process of cell division?

Somatic cells, which are the body's non-reproductive cells, undergo mitosis during cell division.


What type of cell division occurs in all cells of an organism 's body except in the reproductive cells?

mitosis.. it helps in somatic cell divisions..


What process produces new somatic Cells?

Cell division through mitosis produces new somatic cells. During mitosis, a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. This process is important for growth, repair, and maintenance of the body.


The cloning of cells involves in the process of?

The cloning of cells involves the production of genetically identical copies of a cell through a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). In SCNT, the nucleus of a somatic cell is inserted into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed. This new cell then divides and develops into an identical copy of the original cell.


Are Cells that become gametes are called somatic cell lines?

No, cells that become gametes are not called somatic cell lines. Somatic cell lines refer to normal body cells that are not involved in reproduction, while gametes are specialized reproductive cells (sperm and egg) that are involved in sexual reproduction.


How many cells are formed after cell division?

When body cells (somatic) undergo cell division (mitosis) It creates a duplicate cell. So for every cell undergoing cellular division, one new cell plus will be formed and the original will remain.


Process of cell division which results in the production of sex cells?

The process is called meiosis. It involves two consecutive divisions, resulting in the production of four haploid cells (sex cells) that each have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis is crucial for sexual reproduction as it ensures genetic diversity in offspring.


How does one somatic cell compare to the other somatic cells of an individual organism?

== == Somatic cells are body cells that contain 46 chromosomes and reproduce very rapidly. Reproductive cells are sex cells(sperm and egg)(dont rproduce as fast as somatic cells)and they contain 23 chromosomes.
