You mean meiosis. At the end of meiosis II, each diploid parent cell produces four haploid cells. In males, all four will become gametes called sperm cells. In females, one of the four haploid cells will receive the vast majority of cytoplasm and will become the female gamete, which is an ovum or egg cell. The other three cells will be reabsorbed.

Are gametes produced by meiosis or mitosis?

In animals, gametes are formed only through meiosis. Mitosis does not produce gametes. However, in autotrophs, spores composed of gametes go though mitosis to produce a gametophyte.


Does mitosis results in four haploid gametes?

No - mitosis results in two genetically identical diploid cells.Meiosis creates four haploid cells.


What is the opposite of meiosis?

The opposite of meiosis is mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a type of cell division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.


What form of cellular division results in daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell?

This is called mitosis. Be careful to note that the parent cell does not always have 2n chromosomes and it may produce sexual cells (gametes)- because that is exactly what almost all plants do in the alternation of generations. A gametophyte is haploid and in order to create haploid gametes it uses mitosis.


Why must meiosis and mitosis be used to produce gametes?

Meiosis and not mitosis must be used to produce gamete. This is because meiosis produces spores that are used for reproduction and can form similar copies to the parent cell.


What is the difference between meiosis and mitosis?

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes (sex cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while mitosis is a type of cell division that produces identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


Is meiosis mitosis happening twice?

No, meiosis involves two rounds of cell division but differs from mitosis in several key ways. Meiosis results in the formation of gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while mitosis produces two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


What's the difference between meiosis and mitosis?

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes (sex cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


How is meiosis different from mitosis in terms of the process of cell division?

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes (sex cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while mitosis is a type of cell division that produces identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


Unlike mitosis meiosis results in the formation of what sort of cells?

Meiosis results in the formation of haploid cells, which have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This process is important for sexual reproduction, as it produces gametes (sperm and egg cells) with genetic diversity.


Is meiosis 1 the same as mitosis?

No, meiosis 1 is different from mitosis. Meiosis 1 is a type of cell division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes, while mitosis is a type of cell division that produces identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


How is the chromosome number affected by cell division?

During cell division, the chromosome number remains constant. In mitosis, each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes to the parent cell. In meiosis, the chromosome number is halved to produce gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
