Why is mitosis incompatible with the production of sperm and oocytes

Biology
1 answer:
Naily [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Mitosis creates diploid cells, while gametes (sperm and oocytes) are haploid cells

Explanation:

Mitosis is the process by which somatic (non-germ line) cells replicate, and two identical cells, called daughter cells are produced from each division. These cells are diploid, meaning that the cell has paired chromosomes. Meiosis is the process by which gametes, sperm cells and oocytes, are produced and these cells must be haploid, or contain unpaired chromosomes, so that when fertilization occurs, the chromosomes from the sperm cells and the chromosomes from the oocytes can recombine to create unique pairs of chromosomes for the resulting zygote. Thus, mitosis will never be able to create germ cells as germ cells must be haploid.

What is a cephalopod?
klio [65]

A cephalopod is a predatory-like mollusk of the large molluscan class of Cephalopodan animals. This includes cuttlefish, octopus, squid, and/or nautilus. They are animals that live in the ocean. Additionally they eat foods like fish and jellyfish on regular and customary occasions. They sometimes possess cannibalism by eating their own species, which is absolutely crazy. Anyways, I hope that this has helped you today.. :)
