The correct answer is C. Mitosis produces 2 genetically identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces 4 genetically unique haploid cells.

Mitosis is where a parent cell duplicates its genetic information before dividing into 2, therefore, the daughter cells from mitosis are completely identical to their parent cell and the other daughter cell, and we call the cells which has complete genetic information as diploid. Mitosis is very useful in repairing, growth, asexual reproduction etc.

Meanwhile, meiosis involves 2 times of division. The parent cell first duplicates its genetic information, but then swapping them, and divide. 2 new cells are produced. Then these 2 cells are further divided but without duplicating the genetic material. Therefore, this results in 4 genetically different cells. We call them haploid, as they only have half of the chromosomes from their parent, which is the opposite of diploid. Meiosis is important in producing sex cells.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:e. multiple of the options are true

Explanation:

DNA central dogman involves DNA replication, DNA transcription and DNA translation which involves the formation of protein.

Replicated DNA are transcribed to an intermediary mRNA(Messenger ribonucleic acid) from where it is moved from the nucleus to ribosome in the cytoplasm. Enzyme RNA polymerase helps in proof reading ,replication and transcription of bases during transcription. translation takes place in the ribosome with the help of ribosome in the presence of enzyme tRNA (transferase ribonucleic acid) that reads the codon and brings corresponding amino acid which are functional protein.
