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 process Are Gametes produced?
Gametes are produced through a process called meiosis, which involves two rounds of cell division. During meiosis, a germ cell undergoes DNA replication and genetic recombination to produce haploid gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. This process ensures genetic diversity in offspring.
What type of cells allows mutations to be passed onto offspring?
Germ cells (sperm and egg cells) allow mutations to be passed onto offspring. These cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes containing genetic material that can be inherited by the next generation. Mutations occurring in germ cells can therefore be transmitted to offspring.
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.
What Has the same number of chromosome sets as a germ cell?
A haploid germ cell has the same number of chromosome sets as a gamete, which is half the number of chromosome sets found in a somatic cell. This enables the gametes to fuse during fertilization to restore the diploid number of chromosomes in the zygote.
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.
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 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 is the opposite of female germ cells?
a male 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)
What process Are Gametes produced?
Gametes are produced through a process called meiosis, which involves two rounds of cell division. During meiosis, a germ cell undergoes DNA replication and genetic recombination to produce haploid gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. This process ensures genetic diversity in offspring.
What is another name for sex cells?
Another word for sex cells is gametes. A male and female gamete come together to form a zygote: the first cell of the new organism.
What type of cells allows mutations to be passed onto offspring?
Germ cells (sperm and egg cells) allow mutations to be passed onto offspring. These cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes containing genetic material that can be inherited by the next generation. Mutations occurring in germ cells can therefore be transmitted to offspring.
Are all female germ cells stem cell?
no
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.
What does a pollen grain and ovule each contain?
Pollen grains contain the male gametes required for sexual reproduction of a plant/ flower. These are haploid, and only contain half the full set of chromosomes; the other half is contributed by the female gamete (or ovule).A grain of pollen contains:a larger vegetative cell (also called the tube cell) inside of which is aa smaller germ cell (also called the generative cell).The pollen grain "germinates" on the stigma of the receptive flower and grows down the style, once it reaches the ovule the germ cell/ nucleus fuses with the nucleus of the ovule and an embryo is formed
