Ok, first you start out with the sperm fertilizing the egg, making eventually a two cell embryo. During mitosis, each embryo divides in two making four embryos. This is the process of mitosis. The embryos make up a fetus, and as the fetus develops, it comes closer and closer to birth. Finally, a baby is born and it grows into an adult. Then the adult starts the cycle all over again with the fertilization of the egg.
Mitosis would result in more cells being produced within the human body.
Mitosis and meiosis are alike in that they both are a kind of cell division. They are different in that mitosis produces two cells identical to the original, while meiosis produces cells that only have half the chromosomes of the original. Meiosis ends up with haploid cells, while mitosis end up with diploid cells.
Meiosis takes place in the reproductive organs (testes in males and ovaries in females) to produce gametes (sperm and eggs), while mitosis occurs in various tissues throughout the body for growth, repair, and maintenance of cells.
No, not all cells go through mitosis. Mitosis is a form of cell division that occurs in somatic cells to produce two identical daughter cells. However, cells such as sex cells (sperm and egg cells) go through a different type of cell division called meiosis.
Mitosis occurs in somatic cells to generate new cells for growth and repair throughout the body. For example, mitosis occurs in skin cells to replace old or damaged skin cells. Meiosis occurs in reproductive cells to produce gametes (sperm and eggs). For example, meiosis occurs in the testes to produce sperm cells in males and in the ovaries to produce egg cells in females.
the amount of chromosomes in a cell. meiosis is used in sexual reproduction and mitosis is just making more cells. chromosomes in a human after meiosis=24; mitosis=48.
It depends, Meiosis is part of the sex cells cycle (Sperm and Egg) but it requires sexual reproduction (2 parents) as apposed to all the other human cell's way of reproduction, Mitosis. Meiosis is how a sex cell divides, so it is part of the sex cell's cell cycle, but not all cells
No, human cells divide by mitosis and meiosis.
all cells perform mitosis, except sex cells which perform meiosis
Humans use both- mitosis to grow, meiosis to form sex cells for reproduction.
Yes, mutations can be passed along to human offspring through both meiosis and mitosis. Mutations that occur in the germ cells during meiosis can be passed on to offspring, while mutations that occur in somatic cells during mitosis can potentially lead to a mosaic pattern of mutated and normal cells in an individual.
Meiosis is also termed as reduction division. first the diploid(2n) gamete undergoes meiosis to become haploid(1n) then fertilization takes place. For growth and development mitosis is necessary. Meiosis is needed to half the chromosomes number . For example in human there are 46 chromosomes. if fertilization takes place without meiosis then the resulting organism would have 92 chromosomes which off course will not be a human!

This process is called cell division, where a single parent cell divides into two daughter cells. Cell division ensures growth, repair, and reproduction in living organisms, and it occurs through either mitosis (for somatic cells) or meiosis (for sex cells).
Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a specialized type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis is specifically involved in the production of gametes (sperm and eggs) for sexual reproduction, while mitosis is involved in growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.
