Question

10 multiple choice 5 points which of the following comparisons of mitosis versus meiosis is not correct for animal cells? occurs in somatic cells<---->occurs in the gonads two daughter cells<---->four daughter cells one cell division<---->two cell divisions diploid daughter cells<---->haploid daughter cells homologous chromosomes pair up<---->homologous chromosomes do not pair up clear my selection

Explanation:

• Mitosis occurs in somatic cells and results in two diploid daughter cells after one cell division.
• Meiosis occurs in the gonads (germ - line cells) and results in four haploid daughter cells after two cell divisions.
• In meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up (during prophase I), while in mitosis, homologous chromosomes do not pair up.

Answer:

E. homologous chromosomes pair up<----->homologous chromosomes do not pair up
