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.
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.
Meiosis in simple terms is the process by which gametes (sperm and egg) fuse together to produce a fertilised egg. Haploid is a word that refers to how many chromosomes a certain cell has. In this case the gametes have a haploid number of chromosomes, which is half the number a normal cell has. A normal cell has a diploid number of chromosomes. So in meiosis the two gametes come together with their hapoid number of chromosomes each to create an egg that has a diploid (standard) number of chromosomes.
Meiosis produces four haploid cells. Mitosis produces two diploid cells.
Before mitosis, cells have a diploid number of chromosomes, which means they have 46 chromosomes in humans. After mitosis, the daughter cells also have a diploid number of chromosomes, so they also have 46 chromosomes.
Meiosis produces haploid cells from a diploid cell

Therefore, if you start with one diploid cell, mitosis will yield two diploid cells, while meiosis will not.
Mitosis makes diploid cells or stomatic cells which are cells with 2 haploid sets of chromosomes. These are your normal body cells. every cell in you body besides the gametes are diploid and have 46 chromosomes. Meiosis makes haploid cells which only have 23 chromosomes or one set of chromosomes. Haploid cells are your gametes or reproductive cells and meiosis only happens in your gonads or reproductive organ.
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.
Yes, the process of meiosis results in four daughter cells with a haploid number of chromosomes. In contrast, mitosis results in two daughter cells with a diploid number of chromosomes.

Gametes are produced by meiosis rather than mitosis because meiosis generates haploid cells with half the number of chromosomes, which is necessary for sexual reproduction to maintain the correct chromosome number in the offspring. Mitosis produces diploid cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Yes, diploid cells do have chromosomes. These cells are created during mitosis.
Mitosis makes a diploid cell.It is to be always remembered that mitosis is an equational cell division and it can only take place in diploid cells.
Mitosis occurs in diploid parent cells, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent). During mitosis, the parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Meiosis produces four haploid cells. Mitosis produces two diploid cells.
