Question

Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis. Which statement below is true? (1 point)
O Stem cells replicate via meiosis, not mitosis.
ODNA is exchanged during meiosis, but not during mitosis.
O Mitosis results in four daughter cells, while meiosis only results in two.
Sex cells are formed flym mitosis, while meiosis only forms somatic cells.

Answer 1

Answer:

ODNA is exchanged during meiosis, but not during mitosis.

Explanation:

Mitosis and meiosis are the two major cellular divisions in living organisms. Mitosis is the type of cellular division that results in the formation of two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while meiosis results in four daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell.

Stem somatic and reproductive cells undergo mitosis while meiosis is peculiar to only reproductive cells for formation of gametes. The offsprings produced by meiosis are said to be "genetically different" because a phenomenon called CROSSING OVER where DNA is exchanged between chromosomes occurs.

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer is B

Explanation:

Specifically, meiosis creates new combinations of genetic material in each of the four daughter cells. These new combinations result from the exchange of DNA between paired chromosomes. Such exchange means that the gametes produced through meiosis exhibit an amazing range of genetic variation.

Hope this helps, I had the same q on my test ehehe....
