Biology
1 answer:
Andru [333]3 years ago

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Mitosis results in two cells that are genetically identical. DNA replication only occurs during "S phase." Meiosis is commonly defined as a type of cell division that divides a somatic cell and produces four gamete cells when doing so.

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>S phase:</em></u> In S phase, the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus. It also duplicates a microtubule-organizing structure called the centrosome. The centrosomes help separate DNA during M phase.

<u><em>Gametes</em></u> are an organism's reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome.

<span>Acute exposure to radioactive substances.
 Acute exposure is radiation exposure that occurs in a short time period. It can be an exposure that occurs once in your lifetime. This might be that one foot x ray you had because you may have broken your foot. Acute exposure can also be exposures that occur more than once, but very infrequently and for short periods of time. This might be dental x rays you get every few years.</span>
