Mitosis results in two diploid cells, each genetically identical to the original cell. In contrast, meiosis produces four haploid cells, which contain half the number of chromosomes and are genetically distinct from one another and from the original diploid cell. Therefore, if you start with one diploid cell, mitosis will yield two diploid cells, while meiosis will not.

Is the parent cell diploid a characteristic of meiosis not mitosis?

Mitosis starts with a diploid parent cell and ends with two diploid daughter cells. Meiosis starts with a diploid parent cell and ends with haploid daugther cells. The number of cells produced depends on the type of gamete being generated.

Which cells are known NOT to do mitosis?

gametic (sperm or egg) cells do not carry out mitosis, instead they carry out meiosis. Mitosis gives a diploid number of chromosomes to each cell, meiosis gives a haploid number.


When somatic cells reproduce by mitosis the daughter cells diploid or haploid?

When somatic cells reproduce by mitosis, the daughter cells are diploid. This means they have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, and the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

What cell begins meiosis and mitosis?

In meiosis, the process is initiated by germ cells (sperm and egg cells) that undergo specialized cell division to produce gametes. In mitosis, somatic cells throughout the body can undergo cell division for growth, repair, and maintenance.
