no. somatic cells are all cells of the body that are not gametes. meiosis only involves the production of gametes. not somatic cells

What are cells from meiosis called?

somatic cells


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.


Is meiosis the cell division in eukaryotes that produce somatic cells?

No, meiosis is the cell division process that produces gametes (eggs and sperm) in eukaryotes. Somatic cells are produced through mitosis, a different type of cell division. Meiosis is specific to the creation of sexual reproductive cells.


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).


What type of cell undergose meiosis?

Meiosis only occurs in sex cells, which are the sperm and egg cells. Mitosis occurs in the somatic, or body, cells.


What is created by the each mitosis and meiosis processes?

Mitosis results in the formation of more somatic cells and meiosis creates haploid cells for gametophytic stage


What is created by each of the processes mitosis and meiosis?

Mitosis results in the formation of more somatic cells and meiosis creates haploid cells for gametophytic stage


Do somatic cells undergo meiosis?

No, somatic cells do not undergo meiosis. Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that only occurs in germ cells, specifically in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells). Somatic cells undergo mitosis, a different type of cell division responsible for growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms.


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 cell type is diploid sex cell or ovum or gamete or somatic cell?

The diploid cell type is the somatic cell. Gametes, such as ovum, are haploid cells that are produced by the process of meiosis from diploid germ cells.


What is the difference between cells produced by mitosis and meiosis?

Mitosis reproduces somatic cells, meiosis reproduces sex cells. Mitosis- Cell division involving body cells. Divides once. Meiosis- Cell division involving sex cells. Divides twice.


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.
