Meiosis is also termed as reduction division. first the diploid(2n) gamete undergoes meiosis to become haploid(1n) then fertilization takes place. For growth and development mitosis is necessary. Meiosis is needed to half the chromosomes number . For example in human there are 46 chromosomes. if fertilization takes place without meiosis then the resulting organism would have 92 chromosomes which off course will not be a human!
What else can I help you with?
Do mitosis happen in sexual reproduction?
Mitosis does occur in sexual reproduction, but it is not part of the process of sexual reproduction itself. Instead, mitosis is responsible for the growth and repair of cells in the organism. During sexual reproduction, gametes are produced through meiosis, a process that reduces the number of chromosomes in half to create genetically diverse offspring.
Is mitosis a form of sexual reproduction?
No it is not. Meiosis is involved in sexual reproduction
What is the difference between mitosis and meioisis?
Mitosis is asexual reproduction, meiosis is sexual reproduction.
How do the results of mitosis and meiosis differ?
the amount of chromosomes in a cell. meiosis is used in sexual reproduction and mitosis is just making more cells. chromosomes in a human after meiosis=24; mitosis=48.
Does interphse represent sexual or asexual?
interphase is the first step of both meiosis and mitosis. so you can't determine which one does it belong. mitosis is asexual while meiosis is sexual.
Is sexual reproduction in meiosis or mitosis?
meiosisMeiosis produce haploid cells. Mitosis produce diploid cells
How can you tell which type of sexual cycle an organism undergoes?
The type of sexual life cycle that a eukaryotic organism has depends on the type of cell that undergoes meiosis and on when meiosis occurs.
Why is meiosis a necessary part of the life of any sexual reproducing organism?
Because without meiosis there would be no sexual reproduction.
How can you tell which type of sexual life cycle an organism undergoes?
The type of sexual life cycle that a eukaryotic organism has depends on the type of cell that undergoes meiosis and on when meiosis occurs.
What are the two methods the body used to reproduce cells?
Mitosis(asexual) and Meiosis(sexual)
Does meiosis occur in sexual or asexual reproduction?
Meiosis isn't reproduction itself but takes place during sexual reproduction. The function of meiosis is to produce haploid gamete cells that way when fertilization occurs the result are two haploid gametes (half the number of chromosomes) coming together. It occurs only during spermatogenesis or oogenesis, mitosis produces normal somatic cells.
What makes it possible for an organism to change into a different type of organism?
both sexual reproduction and mitosis =)
