Gametes don't undergo Meiosis, but are CREATED in Meiosis.
Gametes should be haploid. Otherwise chromosomal number will be doubled in offspring

Do all cells go through mitosis?
All cells in the human body go through mitosis except, the gametes. The gametes are the sex cells and they go through a process called meiosis.
What role do germ cells play in gametogenesis?
They produce cells that divide by mitosis and then undergo meiosis to form gametes.
What type of cell division produces gametes?
Meiosis. Mitosis is in somatic sells(non gametes/non sex cells) , and meiosis occurs in gametes/sex cells.
Are sex cells undergoing mitosis?
Your "germ" (or sex, but I prefer germ) cells undergo mitosis to create more diploids, but then they undergo Meiosis I to form a haploid. In boys, the germ cells will undergo Meiosis II to form their complete germ cells. In girls, the cell will only complete Meiosis II if the egg is fertilized. So the answer is sort of yes... the diploids will undergo Mitosis, but to actually get germ cells... they must undergo Meiosis.
What animals undergo mitosis?
both. mitosis is for growth and development while meiosis is for creating gametes in order to continue the species
Do blood cells undergo meiosis?
no. only the cells in the gonads which are to become gametes undergo mitosis. blood cells, like all cells but gamete cells are called somatic and only divide by mitosis.
Is samotic cell both mitosis and meiosis?
Somatic cells undergo mitosis. Sex cells undergo meiosis.
What is meiosis and which cells can undergo meiosis?
Somatic cells (body cells) undergo mitosis. An example of this could be a skin cell, as the skin cell replacing the dying skin cell must be an exact clone.Sex cells (gametes) undergo meiosis.Because meiosis results in half the number of chromosomes in it's daughter cells, gametes are the only cells that undergo meiosis in the body.
What cell undergo meiosis?
reproductive cells or you can also say the 23rd pair in the chromosome of the reproductive cell under goes the meiosis and the 23rd pair is called sex chromosomeGerm cells are the only cells that can undergo meiosis as well as mitosis. Germ cells produce gametes. Eukaryotic organisms that sexually reproduce have cells that undergo meiosis rather than mitosis.
Do brain cell undergo meiosis?
no they undergo mitosis
What boby cells undergo meiosis?
Body cells do not undergo meiosis. Reproductive cells undergo meiosis, body cells, mitosis.
Does the cell divide in two during mitosis?
No, because gametes do not divide. Specific cells called "germ cells" give rise to gametes through a process called meiosis. After that gametes do not divide again and simply wait until an opportunity arises in which they can pair up with their other gamete cell and form a zygote.
