Question

Mitosis and meiosis are methods of cell division. Which of the following is true of these two methods? A. Meiosis involves only one division, while mitosis involves two divisions. B. Mitosis involves two or more divisions, while meiosis involves exactly two divisions. C. Meiosis involves two or more divisions, while mitosis involves exactly two divisions. D. Mitosis involves only one division, while meiosis involves two divisions.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Mitosis involves only one division, while meiosis involves two divisions.

Explanation:

Mitosis and meiosis are processes of cell reproduction that happen in living beings. They originate cells for different purposes. Each mitosis produces two cells equal to the source. An meiosis creates four daughter cells with half the genetic material of the mother cell.

Answer 2

D. Mitosis involves only one division, while meiosis involves two divisions.


Mitosis --> Two identical diploid daughter cells from one division

Meiosis --> Four unique haploid daughter cells from two divisions
