yes, Meiosis (i/maɪˈoʊsɨs/) is a special type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction in eukaryotes. The cells produced by meiosis are gametes or spores. In many organisms, including all animals and land plants (but not some other groups such as fungi), gametes are called sperm and egg cells.

What else can I help you with?
Is samotic cell both mitosis and meiosis?
I'm not sure what you mean by "samotic cell." If you meant "somatic cell," then yes, somatic cells undergo mitosis for growth and repair. However, they do not undergo meiosis, which is reserved for the production of gametes (sperm and egg 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.
Do all cells undergo meosis?
No. Humans undergo mitosis, because two daughter cells contain the same genetic makeup as the parent cellOf course germ cells undergo meiosis. They produce sperms and ova
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 are the key differences between germline cells and somatic cells in terms of their functions and characteristics?
Germline cells are responsible for passing genetic information to offspring, while somatic cells make up the body's tissues and organs. Germline cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes, while somatic cells undergo mitosis for growth and repair. Germline cells have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells and are involved in reproduction, while somatic cells have a full set of chromosomes and perform various functions in the body.
Is samotic cell both mitosis and meiosis?

Somatic cells, on the other hand, undergo mitosis for growth and repair in multicellular organisms.
Why don't somatic cells go through meiosis?
Somatic cells do not go through meiosis because they are not involved in the formation of eggs or sperm. Meiosis is specifically for the production of gametes (sperm and eggs) in organisms for sexual reproduction. Somatic cells undergo mitosis to produce new somatic cells for growth and repair.
Cell type which undergoes process meiosis?
Germ cells undergo the process of meiosis to produce gametes (eggs and sperm) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction to maintain the correct chromosome number in offspring.
What cell begins meiosis and mitosis?
In meiosis, the process is initiated by germ cells (sperm and egg cells) that undergo specialized cell division to produce gametes. In mitosis, somatic cells throughout the body can undergo cell division for growth, repair, and maintenance.
What type of Cell carries out mitosis and meiosis?
Somatic cells carry out mitosis, while germ cells carry out meiosis. Somatic cells are body cells that undergo division for growth and repair, while germ cells are sex cells that undergo division to produce gametes for sexual reproduction.
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.
Can germ cells be involved in mitosis?
No, germ cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells), not mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division that produces genetically identical daughter cells for growth and repair in somatic cells.
What boby cells undergo meiosis?
Body cells do not undergo meiosis. Reproductive cells undergo meiosis, body cells, mitosis.
Do all cells undergo meosis?
No. Humans undergo mitosis, because two daughter cells contain the same genetic makeup as the parent cellOf course germ cells undergo meiosis. They produce sperms and ova
Why all somatic cells undergo mitosis and some cells in the gonads undergo meiosis?
Somatic cells undergo mitosis for growth, repair, and maintenance of the body, resulting in identical copies of the original cell. Cells in the gonads undergo meiosis to produce gametes with half the number of chromosomes, ensuring genetic diversity in offspring when fertilization occurs. This process also helps maintain the chromosome number across generations.
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.
