Bcoz.. In meiosis ti change ploidy of cell from diploid(n) to haploid(2n) .. 2 division occur.. This helps in formation of haploid gametes.. When two gametes fuse.. They form diploid (2n) zygote.

On the other hand..

There is only one division in mitosis...bcoz no change in ploidy.. Use in growth. Bcoz it retains nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The new drug will not be effective against the treatment of cancer.

Explanation:

The drug will not be effective against the cancer treatment because the drug will inhibit the dimerization of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) but as the Ras has undergone mutation due to replacement of one amino acid, it will be constitutively expressed and the drug is not effective in stopping the Ras functioning.

Thus, Gefitinib cannot work against the cancerous cell as it is not potent to stop the functioning of mutant Ras protein.
