Gelneren [198K]3 years ago
6 0

In contrast to a mitotic division, which yields two identical diploid daughter cells, the end result of meiosis is haploid daughter cells with chromosomal combinations different from those originally present in the parent. In sperm cells, four haploid gametes are produced.

What problem would most likely to occur if a haploid cell attempted to perform meiosis? the cell could not replicate its dna pri
Cerrena [4.2K]

The answer is; the cell could not pair homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

For meiosis to occur, the sister chromosomes pairs line up in the metaphase-plate so that each chromosome of the pair is pulled to the opposite pole by the spindle in anaphase. Therefore, meiosis can only occur in cells with normal ploidy so the ploidy halved by meiosis.

Somatic Cells carry out Mitosis Cell Division? True or False.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

TRUE.

Explanation:

Cell division that takes place during growth and development of an organism is called mitosis. This can also take place in asexual reproduction. Mitosis takes place in somatic cells i.e body cells that are not even involved in the production of gametes.

The somatic cell of a particular kind of organism has characteristic number of chromosomes in its nucleus. Such chromosomes are said to occur in pairs and can be called homologous chromosomes.

Mitosis can easily produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells which are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell.
