Meiosis produces 4 genetically identical cells. However, in females, this only results in one gamete (called an ovum or egg) and 3 polar bodies which are smaller than the ovum.
(In mammals one of the polar bodies usually disintergrates before division, in which case there would only be 2 polar bodies).

What type of cells allows mutations to be passed onto offspring?
sex cells, because it can pass the genetic trait from one generation to the next
Where are the gametes of an animal produced?
The gametes of a male animal are produced in the testes, and the gametes of a female animal are produced in the ovaries.They are developed in these gonads from specialized cells called germ cells.
What cell passes genetic information from one generation to the next generation?
the daughters cell marries the father cell which makes a baby cell and they transfer to a different country.
What is another term for gametes?
"Spermatazoan" or "sperm cell".
What cells in the body are divided by meiosis?
Germ cells divide by meosis. In the mammalian system, female germ cells are called Ove and male germ cells are called Sperm. There are two meotic divisions. At the end of the second meotic division, each daughter cell contains 'n' number of chromosomes, where n is the haploid number.
Is a germ cell an animal cell?
in animal male produce sperm(male gametes) and female produce ova(female gametes).these gametes are produces in a their reproductive organs.therefore those cells which produces these gametes are called germ cells.they are haploid.when fertilization occur then formation of zygote take place
What type of cells allows mutations to be passed onto offspring?
sex cells, because it can pass the genetic trait from one generation to the next
What is the opposite of a male germ cell?
The opposite of male germ cell is female germ cell.
Do gametes come from germ cells of somatic cells?
somatic cell
What is a type of cell whose primary function is the formation of gametes for sexual reproduction?
germ cell
What are somatic cell and germ cell?
Germ cells are cells that become gametes (are n: have have the genetic material) and somatic cells are all the rest (2n)
How does the total germ cell potential of the female compare to the male?
The germ cell potential of the female is much smaller than that of the male. The total germ cell potential is predetermined.
What is the opposite of female germ cells?
a male germ cell
Gamete cells are produced by cell division called?
The gametes are formed in the gonads, which also have hormonal functions. A gamete is a mature haploid male or female germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote.
Are all female germ cells stem cell?
no
Would a skin cell mutation on your hand affect your offspring?
No. Skin cells are somatic cells. Your offspring come from gametes which are made by germ line cells. Only mutations in germ line cells or your gametes are passed on to your offspring.
Where are the gametes of an animal produced?
The gametes of a male animal are produced in the testes, and the gametes of a female animal are produced in the ovaries.They are developed in these gonads from specialized cells called germ cells.
