Many organisms use mitosis and meiosis. Namely, all eukaryotes probably use mitosis and meiosis. Only bacteria (prokaryotes) would not divide by mitosis and have no mechanism for meiosis as their chromosomes differ from those of eukaryotes.
But eukaryotes all have the capacity for mitosis and meiosis. Eukaryotes include all animals, plants, protists and fungi.

Thus, since pigs are animals (and are thus eukaryotes), then indeed they have cells that divide by mitosis and meiosis. Their body cells (somatic cells) divide by mitosis (for growth and repair). Their gametes (sperm cells and ova) are produced by meiosis as these cells must be divided to a haploid form before copulation and fertilisation. Two haploid gametes would fuse (fertilisation) to restore the resulting cell (zygote) to a diploid form. The zygote grows into a new piglet via mitosis.

Metaphase is a phase in both mitosis and meiosis.


Do jellyfish use mitosis or meiosis?

Jellyfish primarily use meiosis for reproduction. During meiosis, the jellyfish's cells divide to create sex cells that have half the number of chromosomes, allowing for genetic diversity in offspring. Mitosis, on the other hand, is the process of cell division for growth and repair.


Is prometaphase in meiosis?

No, prometaphase is a stage in mitosis, not meiosis. In meiosis, there is a prophase I stage that is similar to prometaphase in mitosis.


Where does meiosis occur in male pigs?

Here it is. mitosis is a division on the body cells meiosis is a division on the sex cells. Thus, meiosis take place in the sex organ of the pig.

Meiosis


Meiosis II is similar to which process?

Meiosis II is identical to Mitosis. Meiosis is split into two stages, Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis I is similar to mitosis however the cells resulting from it have half as many chromosomes as the parent cell.
