Mitosis divides once because it is the starting process of the development of the cell. Where as meiosis divides twice since it is trying to duplicate the cells to create two new daughter cells for the creation process in species.

∙ 13y agobecause the product of meiosis are gametes which are the sperm or egg cells that will fuse with an egg or sperm respectively to form offspring
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoMeiosis is often called"reduction division" because the genetic material is reduced - by half
Wiki User
∙ 13y agobecause there are trying to create an offspring therefore they have to double there amounts of cells & chromosomes to become a diploid again!
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoBecause only one DNA replication and two divisions creates four daughter cells that are each haploid (meaning they have half the set of chromosomes) to increase diversity in the gametes.

How many times does the cell divides during Meiosis?
A cell undergoing meiotic division will divide twice, yielding 4 haploid cells.
Why do meiotic cells go through PMATI twice?
pmati is acronym for the phase of a cell's existence.It break down to
What cell division produces cells?
Meiosis
What is the process for the meiotic process of forming female sex cells called?
Oogenesis.
The second meiotic division is essentially a mitotic division except for the fact that the cells produced are?
Haploid
What is it called when sex cells divide?
meiotic division
How many times does the cell divides during Meiosis?
A cell undergoing meiotic division will divide twice, yielding 4 haploid cells.
Is disploid the second stage of meiotic division?
The diploid is the first stage. The diploid will duplicate one time and then divide twice and create four haploid cells.
Why do meiotic cells go through PMATI twice?
pmati is acronym for the phase of a cell's existence.It break down to
How would you distinguish human mitotic cells from human meiotic cells?
By counting the number of daughter cells resulting from mitotic and meiotic division
What do animal cells do to create new cells?
They grow twice the size, then divide into two.
Do the cells have to divide twice to make sex cells?
Yes. Called meiosis I and meiosis II.
What types of meiotic cells are made?
sperm and egg
Cells that undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division are called?
somatic cells
Why are germ cells diploid prior to their first meiotic division?
Germ cells diploid prior to their first meiotic division as a means to produce homologous chromosomes , or homologs
Why must sex cells divide twice?
So they can produce healthy offspring.
Meiotic cell division in animals is directly responsible for the?
Meiotic cell division in animals is directly responsible for the producing sex cells.
