- 22. Which answer is correctarrow_forwardWhat is the differences and similarities of mitosis and meiosis? Explain in 1-2 sentencesarrow_forwardHow is the outcome of meiosis different from the outcome of mitosis? The daughter cells produced in mitosis are genetically different from the parent cells, but have the same number of chromosomes, while these are genetically similar in case of meiosis and have fewer chromosomes. The daughter cells produced in mitosis are genetically similar to the parent cells and have the same number of chromosomes, while these are genetically different in meiosis and have half the number of chromosomes. The daughter cells produced in both cases are genetically similar to the parent cells, but in meiosis, there are fewer chromosomes. The daughter cells produced in both cases are genetically different, but in mitosis, there are fewwer chromosomes in daughter cells.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is not true in comparing mitosis and meiosis? a. Twice the number of cells are produced in meiosis as in mitosis. b. Meiosis is involved in the production of gametes, unlike mitosis. c. Crossing over occurs in meiosis I but not in meiosis II or mitosis. d. Meiosis and mitosis both produce cells that are genetically identical. e. In both mitosis and meiosis, the parental cell is diploid.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about mitosis and meisois are TRUE? (check all that apply) Mitosis produces genetically identical cells, whereas meiosis produces genetically variable (different) cells. Mitosis consists of a single nuclear division, whereas meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions. DNA replication occurs prior to mitosis and meiosis I. Crossing over occurs in both meiosis I and meiosis II. The number of chromsoomes in newly formed cells is the same as the mother cell in both mitosis and meiosis. 00000arrow_forwardHow are mitosis and meiosis alike? How are they different?
