Question
Given that a diploid cell will undergo meiosis and give rise to gametes (egg or sperm cells), where in the body would you expect this cell to be located?
Expert Solution
arrow_forward
Step 1
Gamete production takes place for sexual reproduction.
arrow_forward
Step 2
Gamete production by diploid cells undergoing meiosis takes place to give rise to eggs and sperms. This process of production of gametes is called oogenesis in females and spermatogenesis in males. The site for the production of gametes is the gonads in the body.

It's a special kind of cell division with some funny little genes. It starts with a cell splitting in two, just like mitosis would; but from there, things get wild and wacky, and I'll tell you if I could. Instead of dividing once more, the cells each split again; creating four brand new cells, not just two like back then. And here's where the magic happens, with chromosomes all pairing up, then swapping bits of info, a dizzying process that can't be summed up. When all is said and done, those four new cells are not quite the same; they've got half the number of chromosomes, and a whole new genetic game. Meiosis, oh meiosis, it's a puzzle that's so much fun. And if you study it like I have, you'll see how it all gets done!"arrow_forward
