Question

select all that apply
select the statements about meiosis that are true.

meiosis occurs only in reproductive cells.
meiosis involves only one round of cell division.
meiosis is involved in growth and repair.
meiosis produces daughter cells that are not genetically identical.

Explanation:

1. For "Meiosis occurs only in reproductive cells": Meiosis is the process that forms gametes (sperm and egg cells), so it occurs in reproductive cells. This is true.
2. For "Meiosis involves only one round of cell division": Meiosis has two rounds of cell division (meiosis I and meiosis II), so this is false.
3. For "Meiosis is involved in growth and repair": Mitosis is involved in growth and repair, while meiosis is for gamete production. So this is false.
4. For "Meiosis produces daughter cells that are not genetically identical": Due to processes like crossing - over and independent assortment, the daughter cells (gametes) have unique genetic combinations, so they are not genetically identical. This is true.

Answer:

• Meiosis occurs only in reproductive cells.
• Meiosis produces daughter cells that are not genetically identical.
