There are two types of sex cells: a sperm cell and an egg cell, belonging to the male and the female respectively. During sexual intercourse, lots of sperm cells swim up to the egg cell which is waiting in the uterus (womb) and one and only one sperm cell can fertilize the egg. Each of the cells contain genetic information from the parents to be passed onto a baby and each contain 23 chromosomes each. If the fertilization is successful, a pregnancy can start and a baby will begin to grow.

Eukaryotic cells do not reproduce through binary fission Instead they reproduce through a process called?

Eukaryotic cells reproduce through a process called mitosis, where a parent cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells. This process ensures the accurate distribution of genetic material to maintain the organism's genetic integrity.


What is the process when male and female sex cells combine?

Plant cells don't have specific sex cells because they are asexual creatures. Asexual meaning they reproduce by means of the cell division or mitosis, not by one cell fertilizing another, like most animals cells do during meiosis.

How do eukaryotes cells reproduce?

Cells can reproduce through mitosis and meiosis.


What are flowering sperms?

There is no such thing as "flowering sperms." Sperm are male sex cells that are involved in the process of fertilization in flowering plants. Flowering plants reproduce through the union of male and female sex cells contained within their flowers.


Where do the new cells reproduce?

the cells reproduce where they are located, and the stratum basale is where the are, next to the stem cells.


How could you use asexual reproduction and mitosis in the same sentence?

Cells in the body, apart from the sex cells, reproduce by mitosis, a form of asexual reproduction where the chromosomes are identical in both the parent and the daughter cells.


What are the processes in which cells reproduce?

Eukaryotic cells reproduce by means of mitosis and cytokinesis.


How often do intestinal cells reproduce?

Intestinal cells reproduce frequently. In the colon the cells reproduce about once every 3 to 4 days. In the small intestine the cells reproduce about once a week.


Does meiosis divide sex cells and body cells?

Meiosis is responsible for dividing sex cells (sperm and egg cells) into four non-identical haploid cells. It is not involved in dividing body cells, which go through mitosis for growth, repair, and maintenance of the body.


What kind of cells reproduce through the process of meiosis?

Sex cells, such as sperm and egg cells, reproduce through the process of meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, which is important for sexual reproduction to ensure the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring.
