The form of cell division that produces animal gametes is meiosis, not mitosis. The production of gametes in plants is a function of both mitosis and meiosis.

Is meiosis the cell division in eukaryotes that produce somatic cells?
No, meiosis is the cell division that produces sex cells. Mitosis is the cell division in eukaryotes that produce somatic cells.
What 2 cell division processes use DNA replication?
Two types of cell division in eukaryotes (nucleated organisms) are meiosis and mitosis. Meiosis halves the number of chromosomes and produces gametes. Mitosis retains the number of chromosomes and is involved in growth and repair of injury.
How do the majority of eukaryotic organisms reproduce?
Majority of eukaryotes undergo meiosis for sexual reproduction.But some undergo mitosis for asexual reproduction.
Do prokaryotic organisms undergo meiosis?
It must or cells would not be able to reproduce. Eukaryotic cells replicate by mitosis. Prokaryotic cells replicate via binary fission.
How many cells do you end up with after mitosis and meiosis?
After mitosis you have two cells and after meiosis you have 4 cells.
How do eukaryotes cells reproduce?
Cells can reproduce through mitosis and meiosis.
Do pigs use meiosis or mitosis?
Many organisms use mitosis and meiosis. Namely, all eukaryotes probably use mitosis and meiosis. Only bacteria (prokaryotes) would not divide by mitosis and have no mechanism for meiosis as their chromosomes differ from those of eukaryotes.But eukaryotes all have the capacity for mitosis and meiosis. Eukaryotes include all animals, plants, protists and fungi.Thus, since pigs are animals (and are thus eukaryotes), then indeed they have cells that divide by mitosis and meiosis. Their body cells (somatic cells) divide by mitosis (for growth and repair). Their gametes (sperm cells and ova) are produced by meiosis as these cells must be divided to a haploid form before copulation and fertilisation. Two haploid gametes would fuse (fertilisation) to restore the resulting cell (zygote) to a diploid form. The zygote grows into a new piglet via mitosis.

What are some characteristics of organism?
Many celled organisms, or eukaryotes, have a bounded nucleus and can use the processes of mitosis and meiosis.
How do the majority of eukaryotic organisms reproduce?
Majority of eukaryotes undergo meiosis for sexual reproduction.But some undergo mitosis for asexual reproduction.
What are The faces of mitosis and meiosis?
there are no faces in mitosis and meiosis but there are phases
How do eukaryotes reproduce asexually?
mitosis
Do prokaryotic organisms undergo meiosis?
It must or cells would not be able to reproduce. Eukaryotic cells replicate by mitosis. Prokaryotic cells replicate via binary fission.
What functions of cells can be affected by a mutation?
because of an error during meiosis or mitosis or because of something in the enviroment.
How many cells do you end up with after mitosis and meiosis?
After mitosis you have two cells and after meiosis you have 4 cells.
What is meiosis about?
Meiosis is Sexual Reproduction, unlike Mitosis, that is responsible for cell growth and other functions. Meiosis has the same phases as Mitosis except that it undergoes those phase twice (Meiosis l and ll). This results in 4 daughter cells, unlike Mitosis which results in only 2 daughter cells. Also, in Mitosis the daughter cells are identical to the original cell, while in Meiosis, it increases genetic variation, because it has characteristics of both parent cells.
