Answer:

B. Row x describes meiosis and row y describes mitosis

Explanation:

Mitosis is the process in which a cell divides to yield two daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. The process takes place in the somatic cells or the body cells. For example, a cell with 14 chromosomes divides to produce two cells with 14 chromosomes.
Meiosis on the other hand is the process in which a cell divides into four daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. The process takes place in the germ line cells where gametes are produced. For example a cell undergoes meiotic division to produce four cells each with 7 chromosomes.

What is the different between somatic cells and haploid gamete cells?

cricket20 [7]

Somatic cells or body cells have a dipliod or full set of chromosomes. Gametes or sex cells, also called germ cells, have a hapliod number of chromosomes or half the number. Somatic cells are diploid cells, whereas the gametes are haploid cells. Meiosis does not take place during the production of somatic cells, whereas meiosis takes place during gametogenesis (production of gametes) giving rise to haploid cells. Somatic cells do not fuse during sexual reproduction, whereas gametes fuse during sexual reproduction giving rise to a diploid zygote.Somatic cells are found almost everywhere in the body, whereas gametes are restricted to certain parts
