can meiosis occur in haploid cells?
308479
No meiosis can occur in haploid cells. A haploid organism (n) produces gametes (n) by mitotic division. ... This zygote or diploid cell then undergoes meiotic division to again produce a haploid organism (n).

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. ... The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell.

It is the stage of the life cycle when a cell gives rise to two haploid cells (gametes) each having half as many chromosomes. Two such haploid gametes, arising from different individual organisms, fuse by the process of fertilization, thus completing the sexual cycle. Meiosis is ubiquitous among eukaryotes.

Meiosis 1. starts with a diploid cell, separates homologous chromosomes, and produces 2 haploid cells. Meiosis 2. separates sister chromatid, each cell produced in meiosis 1 is divided into 2, so produces 4 haploid cells which will then mature to sperm or egg cells.

In contrast to a mitotic division, which yields two identical diploid daughter cells, the end result of meiosis is haploid daughter cells with chromosomal combinations different from those originally present in the parent. In sperm cells, four haploid gametes are produced.

Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction and therefore occurs in all eukaryotes (including single-celled organisms) that reproduce sexually. ... Meiosis does not occur in archaea or bacteria, which reproduce via asexual processes such as mitosis or binary fission.

Meiosis is the form of eukaryotic cell division that produces haploid sex cells or gametes (which contain a single copy of each chromosome) from diploid cells (which contain two copies of each chromosome). DNA replication takes place in S-phase of the Interphase before Meiosis I begins.

Gametes contain half the chromosomes contained in normal diploid cells of the body, which are also known as somatic cells. Haploid gametes are produced during meiosis, which is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in a parent diploid cell by half.

In humans, meiosis is the process by which sperm cells and egg cells are produced. In the male, meiosis takes place after puberty. Diploid cells within the testes undergo meiosis to produce haploid sperm cells with 23 chromosomes. A single diploid cell yields four haploid sperm cells through meiosis.

During meiosis II, the sister chromatids within the two daughter cells separate, forming four new haploid gametes. The mechanics of meiosis II is similar to mitosis, except that each dividing cell has only one set of homologous chromosomes.
1124631
Homologue pairs separate during a first round of cell division, called meiosis I. Sister chromatids separate during a second round, called meiosis II. Since cell division occurs twice during meiosis, one starting cell can produce four gametes (eggs or sperm).

Terms in this set (2) In mitosis, the result is 2 diploid cells that are identical to the parent cells. In Meiosis, the result is 4 haploid cells that are different from each other. ... The purpose of meiosis is creating haploid cells (gametes) that can join/fuse for sexual reproduction multicellular organisms.

Both haploid and diploid cells can undergo mitosis. When a haploid cell undergoes mitosis, it produces two genetically identical haploid daughter cells; when a diploid cell undergoes mitosis, it produces two genetically identical diploid daughter cells.

These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females. During meiosis one cell? divides twice to form four daughter cells. These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes? of the parent cell – they are haploid. Meiosis produces our sex cells or gametes? (eggs in females and sperm in males).

5.4.8 Telophase I Cytokinesis, or cell division occurs, producing two haploid (n) daughter cells, each with only one set of chromosomes (1n). However, the chromosomes are still in their replicated state and consist of sister chromatids. The cells move back into interphase, marking the end of meiosis I.

At the end of meiosis and cytokinesis, four haploid cells are produced from a single diploid cell. These haploid daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell and are not genetically identical to the parent cell.

In contrast, meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions resulting in four nuclei that are usually partitioned into four new haploid daughter cells. The nuclei resulting from meiosis are not genetically identical and they contain one chromosome set only.
