Four daughter cells (gametes) are produced. These have half the genetic material of the original cell.

Two daughter cells are produced by Meiosis I, and four by Meiosis II.

What cell division produces cells?

Meiosis


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 you get from meiosis that you don't get from mitosis?

Mitotic cell division produces two genetically identical daughter cells that are genetically identical to their parent cell. The daughter cells that result from mitotic cell division are 2n, having two sets of chromosomes. Meiotic cell division produces four genetically non-identical cells that are 1n, having only one set of chromosomes. The parent cell for meiotic cell division is 2n.


The type of cell division that produces daughter cells is?

The type of cell division that produces daughter cells is MEIOSIS.


Is the genetic information in daughter cells unique or indetical?

The daughter cells that result from mitotic cell division are genetically identical. The daughter cells that result from meiotic cell division are genetically unique.


How many cells are produced during meiosis?

Meiosis produces 4 cells from one mother cell. Each of these four cells has half the genetic material as the original.


What type of cell division results in haploid cells?

Meiosis is the type of cell division that produces haploid cells.


How many chromosomes will be in a daughter cell after meiosis?

Meosis is called a reductional division. This means the daughter cells in a meotic cell division have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Parent cell (2n) ------> Meotic cell division ------> 2 daughter cells (n)


What is the result of the second meiotic division?

Meiosis II results in four haploid (N) daughter cells.


Why meiotic division is called reduction division?

Meiotic division is called reduction division because the daughter cells (called 'gametes') are haploid, that is, carry half the number of chromosomes of the parent cells. Gametes carry one chromosome of each homologous pair, whereas the diploid parent cells carry both.


Cells that undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division are called?

somatic cells


What sperm is formed during mitosis?

Sperm is not formed during mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) and produces two genetically identical daughter cells. Sperm formation, known as spermatogenesis, involves meiotic division, which produces four genetically different haploid cells called spermatids that later mature into sperm cells.
