In each of the cytokinesis events in meiosis, asymetrical division of cytoplasm and organelles ensure that only one daughter cell receives all the necessities to continue in the process. Therefore only one daughter cell will proceed after meiosis I (the other becomes a polar body that may or may not continue on with meiosis) and only one daughter cell will proceed after meiosis II (the other becomes a polar body). The polar bodies will eventually degenerate.

∙ 12y agoIn males meiosis produces 4 sperms but in vertebrate females meiosis produces 4 cells including one functional egg and 3 non functional polar bodies , so that stored food is not divided in 4 cells .

Is somatic cells associated with meiosis?
no. somatic cells are all cells of the body that are not gametes. meiosis only involves the production of gametes. not somatic cells
What are the names of the cells that meiosis produces?
Meiosis produces sex cells called sperm cells or egg cells.
Why meiosis is not the type of cell division that produces new skin cells?
Meiosis could not be a type of cell division that produces new skin cells because meiosis is a cell division necessary for sexual reproduction only.
How many cells re formed after meiosis?
Meiosis results in four haploid cells. In the female mammals, only one of the three cells will become an ovum. In males all four haploid cells will become sperm cells.
Do all cells undergo meosis?
No. Humans undergo mitosis, because two daughter cells contain the same genetic makeup as the parent cellOf course germ cells undergo meiosis. They produce sperms and ova
Which cells use meiosis instead of mitosis?
All somatice ( that is body cells) use mitosis. Only gamates (sex cells) use meiosis to produce the egg cell that is produced by the females ovaries or the sperm cell that is produced by the male testies.
Does meiosis produce most of the body cells?
The only body cell that can under go meiosis, is sex cells, or gametes. Meiosis is the process in which cell division occurs to produce only reproductive cells. Autosomes, or body cells that do not determine gender, under go a cell division called mitosis, but never through the process of meiosis, except for reproductive cells.
How meiosis help in cell division?
Meiosis produces the sperm and egg cells needed for reproduction. Only cells in the ovaries or testes undergo meiosis.
What type of cell undergose meiosis?
Meiosis only occurs in sex cells, which are the sperm and egg cells. Mitosis occurs in the somatic, or body, cells.
When does your body undergo meiosis?
Only sex cells such as sperm and eggs undergo meiosis. This occurs at puberty.
Can Sertoli cells produce a sperm?
No. Germ cells are needed to produce sperm. Sertoli cells only aid in the process.
Why does meiosis produce four sperm cells but only one ovam?
because there are smaller cells called second polar bonds and all three of them end up dying off.
Is it true that A cell divides to produce daughter cells that are genetically different?
It is true ONLY for meiosis II. Mitosis and Meiosis I produce identical daughter cells.
Are sperm cells and egg cells two kinds of sex cells?
Gamates are know as the sperm and egg or "sex cells". These cells are the only cells in the body that undergo meiosis, not mitosis.
Is somatic cells associated with meiosis?
no. somatic cells are all cells of the body that are not gametes. meiosis only involves the production of gametes. not somatic cells
Does all the cells within a flower undergo meiosis just prior to pollination?
No. Only the cells that produce the gametes undergo meiosis.
Coud the formation of a zygote occur during meiosis?
Meiosis generates gametes (sperm and eggs cells). The combination of the gametes makes the zygotes. So, the process meiosis produces only half of a zygote.
