What else can I help you with?
Can meiosis occur anywhere in the body?
No, meiosis only occurs in specialized cells called germ cells that are found in the reproductive organs (testes and ovaries). These cells are responsible for producing gametes (sperm and egg cells) through the process of meiosis.
Meiosis occurs in what cells?
Meiosis occurs in germ cells (sperm and egg cells) that are involved in sexual reproduction. It is a type of cell division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Why is meiosis only for sex cells?
Only diploid cells can undergo meiosis because haploid cells have a single set of chromosomes that can't be furthered reduced. Gametes form through meiosis.
Is meiosis constantly occurring?
Meiosis occurs only in specific cells, such as reproductive cells in plants and animals. It is not constantly occurring in all cells in the body.
How meiosis help in cell division?
Meiosis produces the sperm and egg cells needed for reproduction. Only cells in the ovaries or testes undergo meiosis.
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 somatic cells associated with meiosis?
Somatic cells are not associated with meiosis. Meiosis only occurs in specialized cells called germ cells, which are responsible for producing eggs or sperm in organisms undergoing sexual reproduction. Somatic cells, on the other hand, undergo mitosis for growth and repair in multicellular organisms.
Which cells use meiosis instead of mitosis?
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.
Does all the cells within a flower undergo meiosis just prior to pollination?
No. Only the cells that produce the gametes undergo meiosis.
What are sex cells formed by meiosis with only half the chromosomes?
Haploid cells
What occurs in plants and animal mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis. Meiosis is only concerned in sex cells.
What are the names of the cells that meiosis produces?
Meiosis produces sex cells called sperm cells or egg cells.
