Answer:

Mitosis produces 2 identical daughter cells with an equal number of chromosomes and types of chromosomes as the parent cell whereas meiosis cell division produces 4 genetically different daughter cells.

Explanation:

Mitosis occurs in all organisms and cells except sex cells. It is the process of producing two replicas of a parent cell. The main purpose of the cell is to repair or growth of an organism. It produces two diploid cells with one division.

Meiosis takes place in sex cells in sexual reproduction. It is the process where four gametes produce from a parent cell. The major purpose of this process is to produce genetically different cells or organisms. It produces four haploid cells.

10. Which of the following statements best describes the major difference between anaphase of mitosis and anaphase I of meiosis?

umka2103 [35]

The answer will be A because mitosis usually separate the sister chromatids to sister chromosomes to form two diploid cells. In meiosis, the goal is to have four haploid cells. To form that, cells need to undergo cell division two times. In the case of meiosis I, sister chromatids stay joined together until it reaches meiosis II. Then, the sister chromatids will separate starting at anaphase II in meiosis II. For example, if you start with 92 chromosomes (46 chromatids) during meiosis I, at meiosis II you will have two cells with 46 chromosomes (23 chromatids). By the end of meiosis II, you should form 4 haploid cells that contains 23 chromosomes.

lord [1]

PDCAAS takes into account both the amino acid profile and the DIGESTIBILITY of a protein. PDCAAS is majorly used to indicate the quality of a protein. Protein digestibility refers to the ability of a protein to be broken down so that it can be absorbed. Protein digestibility depends mainly on the source of the protein.
