Answer:

The correct answer would be the first option.

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which sister chromatids of the chromosomes are separated into two daughter cells.

Each cell gets the same number of chromosomes as present in the parent cell. It is used in the cell or tissue repair and growth.

Meiosis is a type of cell division which includes two sets of divisions; meiosis I and meiosis II.

Meiosis I includes the division of homologous chromosomes whereas meiosis II includes the division of sister chromatids.

It results in the formation of four daughter cells from a single parent, each daughter cell contains half the chromosomes of the parent cell.

It helps in the production of gametes in sexually reproducing organisms.

It controls most of the activities of the body. It is made up of three parts called the cerebrum, cerebellum and medualla oblongata and is protected by the skull.

The respiratory system is divided into the upper respiratory tract consisting of the nasal cavity, pharynx and larynx, and the lower respiratory tract consisting of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and the alveoli. The trachea or the wind pipe is a cylindrical tube infront of the oesophagus, supported by 16-20 C-shaped hyaline cartilage. It serves as a passage for air to move in and out of the lungs.

The excretory system is made up of a pair of kidneys, a pair of ureters, an urinary bladder and an urethra. The urine produced by the kidney flows through the ureters and is collected in the urinary bladder. A spinchter (a ring of muscle) guards the opening of the bladder into the urethra and relaxes only at the time of urination under the impulse from the brain.
