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.
Cells which produce gametes (sex cells) undergo meiosis.
Germ cells in the gonads (ovaries and testes) undergo meiosis.
No. Only the cells that produce the gametes undergo meiosis.
new cells
Only sex cells such as sperm and eggs undergo meiosis. This occurs at puberty.
Body cells do not undergo meiosis. Reproductive cells undergo meiosis, body cells, mitosis.
Cells which produce gametes (sex cells) undergo meiosis.
cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes which are also called your "sex" cells
Cells undergo meiosis in the reproductive organs of organisms, such as the testes in males and ovaries in females. In these organs, germ cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes (sperm and eggs) for sexual reproduction.
Germ cells in the gonads (ovaries and testes) undergo meiosis.
No. Only the cells that produce the gametes undergo meiosis.
new cells
sex cells
Only sex cells such as sperm and eggs undergo meiosis. This occurs at puberty.
To create sex cells for reproduction
No. Humans undergo mitosis, because two daughter cells contain the same genetic makeup as the parent cellOf course germ cells undergo meiosis. They produce sperms and ova
Germ cells undergo the process of meiosis to produce gametes (eggs and sperm) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction to maintain the correct chromosome number in offspring.
