What organs does meiosis occur in?
Meiosis is a special type of cell division that occurs only within the ovaries and testes.
Which happens first mitosis or cell division?
Mitosis was first discovered and meiosis evolved out of mitosis. Mitosis stands for the first division of a cell into two genetic identically cells. Meiosis stands for two divisions into four genetic different cells.
Where does meiosis occur in the human reproductive system?
No, meiosis is a division of only gametic cells.Mitosis is the cell division of the tissue cells rather all the somatic cells.Meiosis is a reductional division in which the chromosome number of the daughter cell reduces to half.Mitosis restores the original number of chromosomes in the daughter cells. It increase the number of the cells in the population.
Is crossing over unique to meiosis?
Yes. Crossover only occurs in prophase of meiosis I. Becuase it does not occur in mitosis, all the cells in our body are supposed to have the same genetic information (of course, excluding the cases where somatic mutations occur, such as in cancer).
Does meiosis produce most of the body cells?
The only body cell that can under go meiosis, is sex cells, or gametes. Meiosis is the process in which cell division occurs to produce only reproductive cells. Autosomes, or body cells that do not determine gender, under go a cell division called mitosis, but never through the process of meiosis, except for reproductive cells.
Where does meiosis occur in segmented worms?
Remember that meiosis ONLY occurs in the sex organs (gonads). In segmented worms, meiosis occurs in the cocoon they excrete after intercourse with another hermaphroditic worm. However, ALL the other cells in the annelid undergo mitosis.
What occurs in plants and animal mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis. Meiosis is only concerned in sex cells.
Occurs in both plants and animals mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis. Meiosis is only concerned in sex cells.
What organs does meiosis occur in?
Meiosis is a special type of cell division that occurs only within the ovaries and testes.
Is mitosis occurs in both plants and animals?
Yes, mitosis occurs both in plants, as well as animals. Mitosis is the reproduction of an organism's cells. For example, when a woman who is pregnant waits for her child to be born, mitosis occurs. Same thing with plants. Hope that helped!
Do blood cells undergo meiosis?
no. only the cells in the gonads which are to become gametes undergo mitosis. blood cells, like all cells but gamete cells are called somatic and only divide by mitosis.
What type of cell undergose meiosis?
Meiosis only occurs in sex cells, which are the sperm and egg cells. Mitosis occurs in the somatic, or body, cells.
Is mitosis or meiosis involved in producing the trailing stems leaves and new roots in plants?
I think mitosis because mitosis involves growing which the plant is doing.... sorry if I'm wrong!
Which occurs more frequently in your body mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis occur more frequently in our body. Basically mitosis occur when we get an injury or is an asexual type of reproduction. It occurs at the time of cell division and our cells need to divide often. While meosis is form of sexual reproduction and it does not occur quite often . Also, meiosis occurs more in men than in women. Look at it this way Mitosis splits once as meosis splits twice and they're not identical
Which happens first mitosis or cell division?
Mitosis was first discovered and meiosis evolved out of mitosis. Mitosis stands for the first division of a cell into two genetic identically cells. Meiosis stands for two divisions into four genetic different cells.
What parts of your body does meiosis occur?
it occurs in the gametes, the sex cells. where mitosis occurs in all other cells that have two halves of chromosomes, meiosis occurs in cells which only have one half of the chromosomes.
In which organs does meiosis occur?
Meiosis is a form of cell division which occurs in the gonads (sex organs). The main difference between mitosis and meiosis is that meiosis involves two divisions and results in 4 'daughter cells' whereas mitosis only involves one division and results in two 'daughter cells' Meiosis is important as it produces cells for reproduction (gametes), and the number of chromosomes in each of the daughter cells is half the number of the original cell so that when fertilization occurs, the normal number of chromosomes is restored.
