sperm and egg
Somatic cells undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division. Meiotic division is only seen in germ cells to produce gametes.
Sperm cells in males and egg cells in females can go through meiotic division.
meiotic division
Meiotic cell division in animals is directly responsible for the producing sex cells.
Human mitotic cells undergo cell division to produce two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In contrast, human meiotic cells undergo two rounds of cell division to produce four haploid daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiotic cells are involved in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells) for sexual reproduction, while mitotic cells are involved in growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.
A meiotic division produces four daughter cells.
Meiosis
Oogenesis.
Germ cells go through DNA replication during interphase before their first meiotic division. This results in them being diploid, with two sets of chromosomes, in order to ensure genetic diversity in the resulting haploid daughter cells produced after meiosis.
Humans are made from tissue of different types in different parts of the body. Each type of tissue is made from different cells.
Cells in an ovary that may undergo meiotic division to form an ovum.
