Do somatic cells go through meiosis? Do they also go through mitosis?
Meiosis is what germ/sex cells do in order to produce genetically unique haploid daughter cells, called gametes. The combination of these in offspring promotes genetic diversity. However, there is no...

There are two different forms of cell division- mitosis and meiosis. Why do we need two forms? Do all cells use both forms? Why do you think that this is true? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each form of cell division?
We need two types of cells divisions for different purposes. takes place in Somatic Cells and occur in Germ Cells. Mitosis helps in repairing and replacing old,...

Which of these correctly distinguishes mitosis from meiosis?
A) Mitosis occurs in germ cells and meiosis occurs in somatic cells.
B) Crossing over takes place in mitosis and not in meiotic cell division.
C) Meiosis produces four 2N daughter cells; mitos
Recall that somatic cells are body cells excluding the reproductive cells. For example, this includes cells of the liver, skin, stomach, but not of sperm or the human egg. In...

In mitosis, what kind of daughter cells are formed?
During the parent cell will replicate its DNA into 4n and divide into the two daughter cells. The chromosomes will line up on the equator and one half of each...

How is interphase II of meiosis different from interphase of mitosis and interphase I of meiosis?
The meisis I enters into the II with short interphase II. This interphase II lacks the of G1, S, and S2 phase. It is beacuse before entering into the complete...

Why do cells undergo mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis is used to grow new tissues an repair the wounded ones. Meiosis is used to produce gametes which eventually fuse together to make zygote that will develop into a...

What is the difference between daughter cells produced by meiosis and daughter cells produced by mitosis?
The main differences between mitosis and meiosis occur in meiosis stage I. For the most part, in mitosis, diploid cells are partitioned into two new diploid cells, while in meiosis,...

The platypus has five pairs of sex chromosomes and 21 pairs of autosomes. When a platypus cell undergoes meiosis, how many chromosomes will the daughter cells have?
Platypus is an exceptional mammal to have so many number of sex chromosomes, i.e. 10 in each individual. Sex of the progeny is determined by the sperm as it may...

A cell under a microscope shows two daughter cells were formed and they are haploid. What stage of meiosis is the cell showing?
In meosis, the cell is divided twice. If you observed only 2 daughter cells, then it is cytokinesis after meosis 1. In animals, cytokinesis 1 occur by constriction and furrow...

How many daughter cells are produced from meiosis of one parent cell?
Meiosis produces four half cells or sex cells (haploid), that are used in . Sex cells are haploid so that when the sperm and ovum fuse, a diploid zygote is...
