Gametes are Haploid (N) - From a Diploid (2N) cell, a cell must go through meiosis

- From another Haploid cell, mitosis must occur to produce another cell.

What kind and how many cells are formed in meiosis?

If your have a single parent cell during meiosis it will make 4 daughter cells. These cells are called gametes and if the parent cell is in a male they would make sperm cells an for a female it would make eggs


What are sperm cells examples of?

Sperm cells are examples of gametes, which are specialized sex cells used for sexual reproduction. They are produced through the process of spermatogenesis in males and serve the purpose of fertilizing an egg cell during sexual reproduction.


The process of cell division that forms incomplete cells or gametes is called?

The process of cell division that forms incomplete cells or gametes is called meiosis. Meiosis involves two rounds of division, resulting in the formation of four haploid cells that are genetically distinct from each other. These cells are used in sexual reproduction to produce offspring with genetic variation.


What is term for reproductive cell?

gametes


What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis in terms of their processes and outcomes?

Mitosis is a cell division process that results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis is a cell division process that results in four genetically diverse daughter cells. Mitosis involves one round of cell division, while meiosis involves two rounds of cell division. Additionally, meiosis is specifically used for the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells) for sexual reproduction, while mitosis is used for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.

Which cell division process is used in the production of gametes during Mitosis or Meiosis?

Meiosis


What is meiosisI?

Meiosis is the type of cell division that results in gametes (sex cells) that possess half the chromosome number of the parent cell. In other words, meiosis reduces the chromosome number by one-half.


Process by which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut half used by organisms to produce gametes?

Meiosis takes a cell from 2N (Diploid) to N (haploid) and produces 4 daughter cells at 23 chromosomes. These are the sex gametes. A normal 2N cell would have 46 chromosomes.

The process to make either an egg cell or a sperm cell is meiosis.

What is the relationship between meiosis and fertilization?

Meiosis is the process by which gametes (sperm and egg cells) are produced, halving the number of chromosomes. Fertilization is the fusion of a sperm cell with an egg cell to form a zygote with a complete set of chromosomes. Together, meiosis and fertilization ensure genetic diversity in offspring by creating new combinations of genes.


What specialised cell is used in reproduction?

The gamete. Haploid egg and sperm cells in sexually reproducing organisms.


What is used to make sex cells called gametes?

Yes. Gametes are specialized sex cells that are only found in the reproductive organs of the human body. They are different from somatic cells (or body cells) because they only contain half of a set of chromosomes in their nucleus (23 rather than 46). Two gametes unite to form a zygote and thus a full set of 46 chromosomes come together.


What is the type of nuclear division used by reproductive cells to produce gametes?

It's meiosis. To be specific meiosis produces haploid gametes which in us are the sperm and egg cells. Also, 4 indentical haploid daughter cells are produced (daughter cells are the same as gametes).
