Question

Does meiosis or mitosis start with diploid germ cells?

Answer 1

Humans have distinct cells called germ cells that undergo meiosis. What ultimately leads to the formation of sperms and eggs. These germ cells contain a complete set of 46 chromosomes (23 chromosomes from the father and 23 from the mother) and ultimately the resulting reproductive cells or gametes, each containing 23 genetically distinct chromosomes.
