Mitosis and meiosis are processes involved in cellular reproduction. Which of the following describes an event that results from
mitosis but NOT meiosis? A) replication of genetic cellular material
B) four daughter cells that are different from each parent cell
C) daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell
D) two stages of cell division
Which of the following best describes the difference in the results of mitosis andmeiosis?
a. Mitosis results in daughter cells with a
complete set of genes. Meiosis
results in daughter cells with half the
genes.
b. Mitosis results in four daughter cells.
Meiosis results in only two daughter
cells.
c. Mitosis produces results in only a few
seconds. Meiosis produces results in
several hours.
d. Mitosis results in daughter cells with a
cell membrane. Meiosis results in
daughter cells with a cell wall.
Which of the following best describes meiosis?
A. It is the first stage of mitosis.
B. It occurs in all tissues which require cells to be replaced.
C. It occurs only in the cells of reproductive structures.
D. It occurs in all tissues which have been damaged.
The event that results from mitosis but not from meiosis is: C) daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell.
Mitosis is the process of cell division where a parent cell divides to form two daughter cells. These cells have the same number of chromosomes as that of their parent and that is the reason why the process is also known by the name equational division.
Meiosis is the process where a cell divided into 4 daughter cells and they have half of the total number of chromosomes as that of their parent. Thus is why the process is also called reductional division. Meiosis does not occur in the somatic cells of the body but in the germ cells.
