Are the daughter cells identical to the parent cell?
Explanation / Answer
All somatic cells in humans like hair, skin, fingernails, tastebuds and epithelial cells lining internal organs undergo mitosis. The reproducitve cells or sex cells or germline cells undergo meiosis and produce gametes, the sperm and ovum which later fuse and result in a zygote develops into embryo.
Most human cells Cells that produce sperm or egg cells What is this kind of cell called? somatic cell germline cell After how many cell divisions is cell reproduction complete? one (mitosis) two (meiosis I and II) How many daughter cells are produced? two diploid four haploid gametes Are the daughter cells identical to the parent cell? identical nonidentical but contain half the number of chromosomes from each parent cell.
