Question
select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. augustine is writing an essay on stem cells. help him by completing the sentences. stem cells have the ability to divide drop - down and produce unspecified cells. they can be developed into a required tissue because of their ability of drop - down. the drop - down options shown are through binary fission, through meiosis, through mitosis. buttons: reset, next
For the first drop - down (how stem cells divide to produce unspecified cells):
- Binary fission is the mode of cell division in prokaryotes (like bacteria) and some single - celled eukaryotes for reproduction, not for stem cells to produce unspecified cells.
- Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half and is mainly involved in the production of gametes (sex cells) for sexual reproduction. It results in cells with a specific function (gametes) and not unspecified cells.
- Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. Stem cells use mitosis to divide and produce more stem cells (unspecified cells) or cells that can then differentiate. So the first drop - down should be "through mitosis".
(Note: Since the second drop - down is not fully visible, but for the first one, the correct option is clear. If we assume the second part is about differentiation (the ability to become specialized cells), but based on the given first drop - down options, we can answer the first part.)
