All somatice ( that is body cells) use mitosis.

Only gamates (sex cells) use meiosis to produce the egg cell that is produced by the females ovaries or the sperm cell that is produced by the male testies.

Meiosis only occurs in reproductive cells. Whereas mitosis is only for somatic cells.

Do human use mitosis or miosis?

Humans use both- mitosis to grow, meiosis to form sex cells for reproduction.


Do pigs use meiosis or mitosis?

Many organisms use mitosis and meiosis. Namely, all eukaryotes probably use mitosis and meiosis. Only bacteria (prokaryotes) would not divide by mitosis and have no mechanism for meiosis as their chromosomes differ from those of eukaryotes.But eukaryotes all have the capacity for mitosis and meiosis. Eukaryotes include all animals, plants, protists and fungi.Thus, since pigs are animals (and are thus eukaryotes), then indeed they have cells that divide by mitosis and meiosis. Their body cells (somatic cells) divide by mitosis (for growth and repair). Their gametes (sperm cells and ova) are produced by meiosis as these cells must be divided to a haploid form before copulation and fertilisation. Two haploid gametes would fuse (fertilisation) to restore the resulting cell (zygote) to a diploid form. The zygote grows into a new piglet via mitosis.


Do jellyfish use mitosis or meiosis?

Meiosis


When a cell undergoes meiosis what will be the result?

Mitoses does take place in sexually reproducing organisms. There are two types of cells in your body, somatic cells (heart, skin, bones, etc.) and sex cells (eggs and sperm). Somatic cells all use mitosis to make more of themselves. Sex cells use meiosis to make more of themselves. If sex cells used mitosis instead of meiosis they would have too many chromosomes and the baby would have problems (if it survived at all).


Do clown fish use mitosis or meiosis?

both. mitosis is for skin and meiosis is for reproduction

What type of cell undergoes mitosis?

Mitosis is the form of cell division that most eukaryotic cells undergo. In humans, all somatic (non-sex) cells use mitosis to divide. Sex-cells use meiosis instead of mitosis.


How do you use daughter cells in a sentence?

Daughter cells are the result of either meiosis or mitosis. :)


What is the name of the process that cells use to divide?

Mitosis is the process that produces new 2N cells from 2N cells Meiosis is the process that produces 1N reproductive cells.

What are 3 things Meiosis and Mitosis have in common?

Meiosis and Mitosis both use centrioles, they both have the same process(except for a few other steps in Meiosis) and they both split cells.

What type of cell division do skin cells use to multiply?

Skin cells use mitosis to multiply. Only sex cells use meiosis to multiply.

Does mitosis or meiosis use bacteria to divide?

yes its how they reproduceBacteria do not have nucleus. So they cannot reproduce sexually. Just multiplication of cells occur


Why don't all cells use mitosis?

Some cells use meiosis instead. This is similar except homologous chromosomes split in the first anaphase and sister chromatids split in the second anaphase. Basically, the only cells that don't split via mitosis are sex cells (gamtes) which contain 1/2 the genetic data that an ordinary cell contains.
