Cells go through meiosis to produce gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, ensuring genetic diversity and the ability to create offspring with unique combinations of traits.
Cells that go through meiosis are reproductive cells, specifically gametes such as sperm and egg cells. Meiosis is the process by which these cells divide to produce haploid cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sex cells, specifically in sperm cells in males and egg cells in females.
No, not all cells go through mitosis. Mitosis is a form of cell division that occurs in somatic cells to produce two identical daughter cells. However, cells such as sex cells (sperm and egg cells) go through a different type of cell division called meiosis.
Meiosis produces four cells.
The cells that do not go through mitosis are sex cells, also known as gametes. These cells undergo a different type of cell division called meiosis to produce eggs and sperm.
Meiosis
Cells that go through meiosis are reproductive cells, specifically gametes such as sperm and egg cells. Meiosis is the process by which these cells divide to produce haploid cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
The only cells that go through meiosis are in the male (testes) and female (ovaries) gonads. All other cells divide mitotically.

Somatic cells do not go through meiosis because they are not involved in the formation of eggs or sperm. Meiosis is specifically for the production of gametes (sperm and eggs) in organisms for sexual reproduction. Somatic cells undergo mitosis to produce new somatic cells for growth and repair.
Meiosis produces four cells.
Meiosis is responsible for dividing sex cells (sperm and egg cells) into four non-identical haploid cells. It is not involved in dividing body cells, which go through mitosis for growth, repair, and maintenance of the body.
The cells that do not go through mitosis are sex cells, also known as gametes. These cells undergo a different type of cell division called meiosis to produce eggs and sperm.
No, plant cells do not undergo meiosis. Meiosis occurs in reproductive cells, such as pollen or ovule cells in plants, where it is responsible for producing genetically diverse haploid cells for sexual reproduction. Regular plant cells, such as those in roots or leaves, do not undergo meiosis.
