Question

1. cells reproduce themselves during __ which includes or __.

a. protein creation, mitosis, meiosis
b. cell division, mitosis, meiosis
c. cell division, osmosis, meiosis
d. gamete production, sperm, ova

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Protein creation is about making proteins, not cell reproduction. So a is wrong.
• Option b: Cell division is the process where cells reproduce. Mitosis (for somatic cells) and meiosis (for gamete production) are types of cell division. This fits.
• Option c: Osmosis is about water movement, not cell reproduction. So c is wrong.
• Option d: Gamete production is part of meiosis, but the first blank should be the general process (cell division), not gamete production. So d is wrong.

Answer:

b. Cell division, mitosis, meiosis
