Question

what happens in mitosis and in meiosis?
select the correct answers from the menu.
in mitosis, a cell divides ______ time(s), creating ____ identical daughter cell(s). in meiosis, a cell divides ____ time(s), creating ______ gamete cell(s).

○ 1,2,2,2
○ 2,2,3,4
○ 1,2,2,4
○ 2,2,2,2

Explanation:

In mitosis, a cell undergoes one division (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase in one cycle) to produce 2 identical daughter cells. In meiosis, there are two divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II), resulting in 4 gamete cells (sperm or egg cells with half the chromosome number). So the correct sequence is 1 (mitosis divisions), 2 (mitosis daughter cells), 2 (meiosis divisions), 4 (meiosis gamete cells).

Answer:

1,2,2,4
