No, only gametes do not undergo meiosis; rather, meiosis occurs in germ cells, which are specialized cells in the reproductive organs that give rise to gametes. In males, meiosis produces sperm, while in females, it results in eggs. Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half, ensuring that when fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote has the correct diploid number. Thus, while gametes are the final products of meiosis, the process itself begins in germ cells.

Somatic cells (body cells) undergo mitosis. An example of this could be a skin cell, as the skin cell replacing the dying skin cell must be an exact clone.Sex cells (gametes) undergo meiosis.Because meiosis results in half the number of chromosomes in it's daughter cells, gametes are the only cells that undergo meiosis in the body.
