sex cells need to go through meiosis because the daughter cells will get half the chromosomes. if they when through mitosis they would get all the necessary chromosomes and when an egg is fertilized and creates a child it will have double the number of chromosomes that it needs. it could cause mutations.
What else can I help you with?
Do all cells go through mitosis?
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.
Which cells do not go through mitosis?
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.
What cells in your body does not go through mitosis?
Most cells do not go through mitosis and are what you call to be in G0 Phase. This is when the cell ONLY does its normal functions and do not try to replicate itself (unless big damage is done to an organ). These cells will go to G1 phase when it is necessary to do cell division.
What living cell does not go through mitosis?
1st answer) i think all cells go through mitosis the process of cell division 2nd answer) Mostly all cells go through mitosis, but sex or reproductive cells go through meiosis instead.
What kind of cells result from mitosis?
Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. These daughter cells are genetically identical to each other and to the original parent cell.
What cells go through mitosis?
nerve cells and sex cells
What kind of cells does division take place in?
if by division you mean mitosis then all cells except sex cells go through mitosis. Sex cells go through meiosis. Mitosis is basically the process of a cell splitting into 2 daughter cells.
What kind of cell go through mitosis?
Somatic (non sex) cells undergo mitosis.
Mitosis is a division of what?
All the cells that divide in your body, except for sex cells, which divide through meiosis, divide by mitosis.
Does meiosis divide sex cells and body 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.
Why does your body go through mitosis?
Your body does not go through mitosis, but rather your cells do. The cells in your body go through mitosis to reproduce. This is how non-sex cells, or somatic cells make more of themselves. Sex cells do not go through mitosis, but instead go through meosis.
Do all cells go through mitosis?
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.

Is mitosis sex or body cells?
Body cells. Meiosis deals with sex cells
What type of cells go through mitosis?
All somatic or body cells can undergo mitosis. But only mature RBC and the cells that produce sex cells are not able to divide through mitosis.We had learned that nerve cells and other special cells can't under mitosis but new research says otherwise.
Mitosis happen's where?
Mitosis happens in the body cell'sIt happens in somatic cells. Only sex cell producing cells undergo meiosis
