Answer:

Cells do not undergo mitosis to become gametes although Somatic Cells go through Mieosis 1 & 2 to become gametes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Specifically a somatic cell is split twice where on parent cell ends up into 4 daughter cells through Meiosis 1 and 2

Mitosis produces the exact same cell so if you did mitosis on a somatic cell it would never happen. But if you did it on a cell already a gamete it would only take one division

Answer:

two

Step-by-step explanation:

When a cell divides by way of mitosis, it produces two clones of itself, each with the same number of chromosomes. When a cell divides by way of meiosis, it produces four cells, called gametes.
