A liver cell would perform mitosis, not meiosis. Mitosis is the process by which somatic (body) cells divide to produce two genetically identical daughter cells, which is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues. Meiosis, on the other hand, occurs only in germ cells to produce gametes (sperm and eggs) and involves two rounds of division, resulting in four genetically diverse cells.

What would happen if the gametes forming a zygote are haploid?

If a haploid cell would attempt to perform meiosis it would split in to two cells. This process is called mitosis.


What is the order of fertilization sex cells meiosis zygote mitosis?

The order would be: Meiosis -> sex cells -> fertilization -> zygote -> mitosis Meiosis creates sex cells, called gametes, which combine during fertilization to create a zygote. The zygote then undergoes mitosis.


Do pigs use meiosis or mitosis?

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.


Are four haploid daughter cells quantitatively and qualitatively different from the mother cell during meiosis or mitosis?

Well mitosis is the splitting of somatic cells (body cells), and meiosis is the splitting of the sex cells, so if we are talking about the mother's cells splitting in preparation for fertilization, than it would be meiosis.


Do mitosis and meiosis take place in all kind of living things?

You do need mitosis to live. If we didn't have mitosis we all would of died by now. Mitosis is the process of cell multiplication (and all the cells are identical), if we lose that ability we wouldn't be able heal cuts, for example, we would all bleed to death. Also, if our cells stopped reproducing, our internal organs would deteriorate in minutes because there is nothing to provide them with the nutrients they need to function.

Which would you say is a more complex process mitosis or meiosis?

Meiosis


Why does a mitosis performing cell changes himself to perform meiosis?

Meiosis occurs in only the reproductive cells to form gametes (in humans... eggs and sperm). And it would be performed to perpetuate a species...

What if mitosis and meiosis never evolved?

Exact the same would be here today because mitosis and meiosis are merely a form of splitting cells in have or copying them. (which is used in every life form on earth)


Meiosis 1 is similar to what other reproductive process?

i believe that would be mitosis, but am not sure

What are the types of cells involved with mitosis?

Mitosis occurs in Eukaryote cells. An example of a cell that would undergo mitosis would be an injured skin cell. Don't get mitosis confused with meiosis, however. Mitosis is non-sexual reproduction, while Meiosis is sexual.


Why does meiosis result in more genetic variation than mitosis?

It would be wrong to consider mitosis insignificant as it helps in cell repair and replacement in our daily life and it would be impossible to survive without it and asexual reproduction as well but if it weren't for meiosis, none of us would have been born :) Meiosis is responsible for the division for our gamete cells which leads to the formation a zygote. from there on mitosis takes over.


How many chromosomes would a human liver cell have after undergoing mitosis?

A human liver cell would have the same number of chromosomes (46) after undergoing mitosis as it did before. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
