Question

Mitosis and meiosis differ in several ways. Meiosis, but not mitosis, _____. involves two bouts of cell division results in four (rather than two) daughter cells changes the chromosome number of the daughter cells introduces genetic variation among daughter cells is correctly described by all of these statements

Answer 1

Answer: is correctly described by all of these statements

Explanation:

Meiosis is the process that enables sexual reproduction to occur. It ensures that a haploid phase exists throughout the life cycle, which will have the diploid phase restored through fertilization. The four daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes in comparison with the mother cell. Meiosis is composed of two "rounds" prophase-metaphase-anaphase-telophase-cytokinesis cycle (meiosis I and meiosis II). Despite being very similar to mitosis, these cycles have some fundamental differences.  This process is important for increasing the genetic variability of daughter cells. And genetic variability is a necessary thing for the evolution and survival of the population.
