Why are germ cells diploid prior to their first meiotic division?
Germ cells diploid prior to their first meiotic division as a means to produce homologous chromosomes , or homologs
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.
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.
What are female germ cells called?
ovaries. it's the female germ(gamete) cells. :)
Body cells are called?
Body cells are called somatic cells. Soma- means body. Germ cells are those that produce egg or sperm.
In what process does cell division produce germ cells?
So far as nuclear division is concerned, in somatic cells it is mitotic whereas in germ cells it is meiotic.

How are sperm cells prod?
Sperm cells are produced through a process called spermatogenesis, which occurs in the testicles. It involves the division and transformation of germ cells into sperm cells. The process includes several stages, including the proliferation, meiotic division, and maturation of germ cells into fully functional sperm cells.

What is produced from diploid germ cells by meiosis?
4 Haploid gametes. In Meiosis, germ cells first undergo a mitosis like division which produces 2 diploid germ cells. After that division, they undergo a second division in Meiosis 2, without first replicating their chromosomes. The end result is 4 haploid gametes.
What are plant sperm cells called?
germ cells
What are plant sperm called?
germ cells
What are gametes also called?
Sex Cells, Reproductive Cells, Germ Cells
What are the new cells that form as germ cells start to copy called?
Oogonium
