Cells that undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division are called?

Somatic cells undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division. Meiotic division is only seen in germ cells to produce gametes.


In what process does cell division produce germ cells?

Cell division produces germ cells through a special type of cell division called meiosis. During meiosis, a parent cell undergoes two rounds of division to produce four haploid germ cells, each containing half the usual number of chromosomes. This process ensures genetic diversity in offspring.


What are female germ cells called?

ovaries. it's the female germ(gamete) cells. :)


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.


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.

germ cells


What is the formation of spermatozoa called?

Spermatogenesis is the formation of spermatozoa from spermatogonia in the testes. This process involves mitotic division, meiotic division, and differentiation of male germ cells to produce mature sperm cells.


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.


Why are germ cells diploid prior to their first meiotic division?

Germ cells go through DNA replication during interphase before their first meiotic division. This results in them being diploid, with two sets of chromosomes, in order to ensure genetic diversity in the resulting haploid daughter cells produced after meiosis.


What are plant sperm called?

germ cells


What are gametes also called?

Gametes are also called sex cells, reproductive cells, or germ cells. They are specialized cells that carry genetic information and are involved in sexual reproduction.


Can germ cells be involved in mitosis?

No, germ cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells), not mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division that produces genetically identical daughter cells for growth and repair in somatic cells.
