Answer:

Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.

Mitosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division that produces two daughter cells with the same genetic component as the parent cell. Chromosomes replicated during the S phase are divided in such a way as to ensure that each daughter cell receives a copy of every chromosome. In actively dividing animal cells, the whole process takes about one hour.

Meiosis is the form of eukaryotic cell division that produces haploid sex cells or gametes (which contain a single copy of each chromosome) from diploid cells (which contain two copies of each chromosome). The process takes the form of one DNA replication followed by two successive nuclear and cellular divisions (Meiosis I and Meiosis II). As in mitosis, meiosis is preceded by a process of DNA replication that converts each chromosome into two sister chromatids.

If cells are placed in a hypertonic solution containing a solute to which the membrane is impermeable, what could happen?
finlep [7]

Answer: A

 The cells would lose water and shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solute is higher than water in a cell. With this, there is a net movement of water from inside to outside initiating water to lose from the cytoplasm and vacuole causing the cell to shrink due to osmosis and achieve equilibrium.

This process is applied in food preservation where microbial cells will be dehydrated in a hypertonic environment, making them malfunction and preventing them to cause food spoilage.
