Your "germ" (or sex, but I prefer germ) cells undergo mitosis to create more diploids, but then they undergo Meiosis I to form a haploid.

In boys, the germ cells will undergo Meiosis II to form their complete germ cells.

In girls, the cell will only complete Meiosis II if the egg is fertilized.

So the answer is sort of yes... the diploids will undergo Mitosis, but to actually get germ cells... they must undergo Meiosis.

No, sex cells or gametes are formed during the process of meiosis, not mitosis.

No.

Mitosis refers to the division of somatic cells. Somatic cells are all other cells excluding the sex cells (also known as gametes).

Meiosis is the division of sex cells.
