Are gametes produced by meiosis or mitosis?
In animals, gametes are formed only through meiosis. Mitosis does not produce gametes. However, in autotrophs, spores composed of gametes go though mitosis to produce a gametophyte.
How many cells get produced in meiosis?
To answer this question, let's take a look at meiosis as a whole. Meiosis I: 1 Mother cell (with DNA that has been replicated) splits into two daughter cells (each are 2n). Meiosis II: Each of those 2 daughter cells split into two gametes (which are 1n each). Therefore at the end of meiosis 2, one daughter cell splits into two haploid cells. Remember, the mother cell (at the beginning of meiosis I) ends up splitting into a tetrad of haploid cells (ie. Mother cell splits into four haploid cells by completion of meiosis)
Why do gametes only have half the usual number of chromosomes?
the division of sex cells occur in a different way from the cells of the other body part....... they undergo reduction division and there are stages of it.. the gametes have half the number of chromosomes (haploid) so that on fertilization it forms a correct human cell for further division and formation of bolus
The final cells resulting from meiosis in either males or females are called?
The common term for such cells is Germ cells. Depending on the gender, the germ cells destined to form sperms or pollen grains are called microspore mother cells and those resulting in to the egg cells are called megaspore mother cells.
What are the spermatogenic cells?
spematogeic cells is the cells responsible for the production of sperms
What are haploid cells that contain chromosomes that are passed on to you from your parents called?
Gametes are the haploid cells which fuse together at fertilisation to form a zygote. One gamete is passed from your father, the other from your mother.
Are gametes produced by meiosis or mitosis?
In animals, gametes are formed only through meiosis. Mitosis does not produce gametes. However, in autotrophs, spores composed of gametes go though mitosis to produce a gametophyte.
Are gametes haploid offspring haploid or diploid?
Gametes are haploid cells produced by the process of meiosis. They unite during fertilization to form a diploid zygote, which divides to form the embryo, and is the first cell of the new offspring of the organisms that produced the gametes. For example, human females produce ova, the female gametes, and human males produce sperm cells, the male gametes. During fertilization, one ovum and one sperm cell unite to form a zygote which divides by mitotic cell division, forming the embryo. The baby that is produced is not considered an offspring of the gametes, but an offspring of the mother and father that produced it.
Are offspring of gametes haploid or diploid?
Gametes are haploid. When two gametes unite during fertilization, they form a diploid zygote, genetically unique from either parent, and the first cell of the offspring. The zygote is not really considered an offspring of the gametes, but of the parent organisms that produced the gametes. For example, a human zygote is the first cell of a human baby formed when a sperm from a male and an ovum from a female unite during fertilization. The zygote and subsequent baby are the offspring of the mother and father.

Is the definitive nucleus in plants haploid in number?
No. Haploid is a term used to describe the genetic makeup of an animal with only one set of sister chromosomes. Humans are diploid organisms, which means they have 46 chromosomes, two sets of 23 (one from mother, on from father). Plants (and fungi) however, have a different developmental pathway which in certain organisms can result in only one set of chromosomes, or haploid. The huge diversity of plants include haploid, diploid, and polyploid (many copies of each chromosome) species.
The final cells resulting from meiosis in either males or females are called?
The common term for such cells is Germ cells. Depending on the gender, the germ cells destined to form sperms or pollen grains are called microspore mother cells and those resulting in to the egg cells are called megaspore mother cells.
Are megaspores mother cells haploid?
no they are diploid
Are spermatids haploid?
Four megaspores are formed from meiotic division of megapore mother cell which is diploid. We know that diploid cells undergo meiosis to give haploid cells. So, it seems to me that megaspores are haploid.
What is a process in which haploid sex cell are produced?
Haploid cells are produced through meiosis.They are not identical to mother cells.
What is the significance of the chromosome number in gametes?
Chromosome numbers in gametes are always half that of normal cell. For example human cells have 46 chromosomes but a human gamete (sex cell e.g sperm/eggs) will have half that number which in this case will be 23. The number is chromosomes is halfed in gametes so that when the sperm meets the egg and the fuse to make a zygote that you get half the genetic material from your Mother and half from you Father, meaning you are not a clone.
