in animals somatic cells are produced by and gametic cells are produced by
In animals, somatic cells are produced by mitosis and ________ are produced by meiosis.fter telophase I of meiosis, the chromosomal makeup of each daughter cell is. A) diploid, and the chromosomes are composed of a single chromatid. B) diploid, and the chromosomes are composed of two chromatids. C) haploid, and the chromosomes are composed of a single chromatid.
Gametes (sperm and ova) are haploid cells. The haploid gametes produced by most organisms combine to form a zygote with n pairs of chromosomes, i.e. 2 n chromosomes in total. The chromosomes in each pair, one of which comes from the sperm and one from the egg, are said to be homologous.Cells and organisms with pairs of homologous chromosomes are called diploid.or example, most animals are diploid and produce haploid gametes. During meiosis, sex cell precursors have their number of chromosomes halved by randomly choosing one member of each pair of chromosomes, resulting in haploid gametes.
