Answer 1

It is unclear what a "germ cell" is as this is not a biological term.

As the Expert Judy Olmsted notes, if "germ cell" refers to gametes, i.e. cells that will be used in sexual reproduction, then meiosis is the process used to create them.

If you are asking how bacteria and protists that cause diseases replicate, this depends on the species. Almost all bacteria and a significant majority of protists replicate by mitosis. The remainder replicate through sexual conjugation. There are also some species that replicate both ways, each under a different set of conditions.

If you are asking how viruses that cause diseases replicate, this is through the invasion of the nucleus of the host cell and inserting genetic information so that the cells own production apparatus (usually ribosomes and similar) creates new viruses.

Answer 2

Germ cells are formed during meiosis. This term is in use for sexually reproducing organisms. Therefore, there is no doubt that the germ cells are produced during meiosis.

What name is given to the new cells formed after mitosis and meiosis?

the cells formed by mitosis and meiosis are called daughter cells.


What is the difference of a cell that is formed from mitosis and a cell that is formed from meiosis?

Cells formed from mitosis are diploid and are identical (if no mutations occurred during DNA replication) to the parent cell. Cells formed during meiosis are haploid and are different than the parent cell (due to the process of crossing over). Note that mitosis produced only 2 daughter cells whereas meiosis produces four.


What is the order of fertilization sex cells meiosis zygote mitosis?

The order would be: Meiosis -> sex cells -> fertilization -> zygote -> mitosis Meiosis creates sex cells, called gametes, which combine during fertilization to create a zygote. The zygote then undergoes mitosis.


What are cells formed during mitosis called?

Cells formed during mitosis are called daughter cells. These cells are genetically identical to the parent cell from which they were formed.


Do the final cells in mitosis have homologouse pairs?

Yes, but they do not pair up during mitosis as they do in meiosis.


During alternation of generations cells reproduce by what?

During alternation of generations, cells can reproduce by either mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis produces genetically identical cells for growth and maintenance, while meiosis creates genetically diverse gametes for sexual reproduction.


What is difference between meiosis 2 and mitosis?

During mitosis, sister chromatids are separated.


When does replication happen during mitosis or meiosis?

Replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle before both mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, the replicated DNA is separated into two identical daughter cells. In meiosis, the replicated DNA is separated into four haploid daughter cells with genetic variation.


Chromatids in eukaryotic cells separate during which process?

Chromatids in eukaryotic cells separate during the process of mitosis or meiosis. In mitosis, chromatids separate during anaphase to form individual chromosomes, while in meiosis, chromatids separate during anaphase II to produce haploid daughter cells.


What kind of cells does the process mitosis and meiosis make?

Mitosis produces cells that are identical to the original cell, called daughter cells. Meiosis forms cells with half the amount of genetic material, which are used in sexual reproduction to create gametes such as sperm and eggs.


Do mitosis happen in sexual reproduction?

Mitosis does occur in sexual reproduction, but it is not part of the process of sexual reproduction itself. Instead, mitosis is responsible for the growth and repair of cells in the organism. During sexual reproduction, gametes are produced through meiosis, a process that reduces the number of chromosomes in half to create genetically diverse offspring.


How many cells do you end up with after mitosis and meiosis?

After mitosis you have two cells and after meiosis you have 4 cells.
