At the end of mitosis 2 each parent cell becomes what numbero of gametes?

You mean meiosis. At the end of meiosis II, each diploid parent cell produces four haploid cells. In males, all four will become gametes called sperm cells. In females, one of the four haploid cells will receive the vast majority of cytoplasm and will become the female gamete, which is an ovum or egg cell. The other three cells will be reabsorbed.

∙ 13y agoIn men, you will end up with four functional sperm, each genetically different. In women, you will only end up with one functional cell, the egg, and three genetically useless cells. For the purposes of basic meiosis, the answer is four.

∙ 12y agoIt really depends on whether you're talking about a male or female. Males will form four gametes. Females will form one gamete and three polar bodies. Probably the safest answer would be four. Good luck!

Does mitosis results in four haploid gametes?
No - mitosis results in two genetically identical diploid cells.Meiosis creates four haploid cells.
Why cant mitosis provide for the sexual reproduction of offspring that contain the same number of chromosomes as the parents?
Meiosis works to produce gametes, not mitosis.
What is the relationship between the parent cell and daughter cell after mitosis?
Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies - or 'replicates' - its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
Why are the process of mitosis and meiosis needed?
It is a key part of offspring creation
Do Mitosis produces four identical daughter cells from one parent cell?
No. The main function of meiosis is to produce gametes for reproduction. The whole process passes through the called "reductionist division", that is, the first part is to duplicate chromosomes but just before the cell division (that comes after chromosome duplication in normal mitosis) there is a second division of chromosomes producing haploid cells or gametes (1n) instead two identical cells (diploid or 2n) derived from mitosis.
What form of cellular division results in daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell?
This is called mitosis. Be careful to note that the parent cell does not always have 2n chromosomes and it may produce sexual cells (gametes)- because that is exactly what almost all plants do in the alternation of generations. A gametophyte is haploid and in order to create haploid gametes it uses mitosis.
Why must meiosis and mitosis be used to produce gametes?
Meiosis and not mitosis must be used to produce gamete. This is because meiosis produces spores that are used for reproduction and can form similar copies to the parent cell.
Does mitosis results in four haploid gametes?
No - mitosis results in two genetically identical diploid cells.Meiosis creates four haploid cells.
What are the two gametes that a RRYy parent can form?
An RRYy parent can form two different gametes: an RY and an Ry
Why cant mitosis provide for the sexual reproduction of offspring that contain the same number of chromosomes as the parents?
Meiosis works to produce gametes, not mitosis.
How is forming tetrads in prophase 1 different from mitosis?
Tetrads don't form in mitosis. Tetrads form so that chromosomes can undergo crossing over which is a form of genetic recombination. The products of meiosis are gametes which ensure genetic diversity in subsequent generations. In mitosis, the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell. No genetic recombination occurs in mitosis.
Why must meiosis and not be used to produce gametes?
Meiosis and not mitosis must be used to produce gamete. This is because meiosis produces spores that are used for reproduction and can form similar copies to the parent cell.
From which cell does human life begin?
A human is created by two gametes, one from each parent, fuse to form a zygote, which is unique from the cells of either parent and is the initial cell that eventually becomes the offspring.
Would mitosis be appropriate method for forming sex cells?
No, mitosis is not an appropriate method for forming sex cells. Mitosis is the process of cell division that produces two genetically identical daughter cells, while sex cells (gametes) like sperm and eggs are formed through a specialized cell division called meiosis. Meiosis produces cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, allowing for genetic diversity and the union of gametes during sexual reproduction.
What is the relationship between the parent cell and daughter cell after mitosis?
Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies - or 'replicates' - its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
Are gametes produced in meiosis identical to each other but different from parent cell?
No. Each gamete is genetically different from the other gametes and from the parent cell.
What is the name given to the original cells before it divides?
In eukaryotes, there are two distinct types of cell division: a vegetative division, whereby each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell (mitosis), and a reproductive cell division, whereby the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half to produce haploid gametes (meiosis).
