Compare the two processes: mitosis and meiosis. Can you identify the the true statements about the two? Meiosis results in four

haploid daughter cells. Mitosis results in four diploid daughter cells. In both processes, DNA replication must occur. During meiosis the 2N mother cells produces N daughter cells. Mitosis is responsible for genetic continuity; in higher organisms it is essential for growth and repair. In plants, egg and sperm are produced via mitosis. I’m

Answer:

The correct statements are:

  • Meiosis results in four haploid daughter cells.  
  • During meiosis, the 2N mother cells produce N daughter cells.  
  • In both processes, DNA replication must occur.  
  • Mitosis is responsible for genetic continuity; in higher organisms, it is essential for growth and repair.  

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell is divided into two identical daughter cells. Each daughter cell contains identical genetic material as that of the parent cell.  

It plays important role in growth and repair of cells and tissues in multi-cellular organisms.

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell is divided to produce four daughter cells. Each daughter cell contains exactly half the genetic material (chromosomes) as that of parent cells

It plays important role in the production of gametes (eggs and sperms) in sexually reproducing organisms.

Before either cell division, the DNA is replicated in the S or synthesis phase of the cell cycle.

How can you explain why two species that look similar are not necessarily that closely related
Ivahew [28]
Convergent evolution would be the best way to explain why two species that look similar are not necessarily that closely related. In convergent evolution, distinct species develop similar anatomical characteristics after its divergence from one common ancestor that does not possess the initial characteristic.

A gene pool consists of all the genes within a
dlinn [17]

"A gene pool consists of all genes, including all the different alleles that are present in a population. Number of times an allele occurs in a gene pool compared with the number of times other alleles occur. In genetic terms, evolution is any change in the relative frequency of alleles in a population."

4. Charles runs two laps around a 400 meter track. What is his total distance traveled?
Black_prince [1.1K]

The answer is 800 meters.

You find this by taking the total distance of the first lap and doubling it. You could also find it by adding 400 meters to 400 meters, which would total at 800 meters
