Question

go to this link and watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqj4dbkcnco the url is case - sensitive. then answer these questions: 1. write a true statement about cells after they go through the process of mitosis. 2. how is meiosis different from mitosis? 3. what are the two main types of cells and where are they found in the human body?

Explanation:

1. After mitosis, daughter - cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell and are genetically identical.
2. Meiosis results in four non - identical daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, while mitosis results in two genetically identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis is for sexual reproduction and genetic variation, mitosis is for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.
3. The two main types of cells in the human body are somatic cells (found throughout the body, e.g., skin cells, muscle cells) and germ cells (found in the reproductive organs, e.g., sperm in testes and eggs in ovaries).

Answer:

1. Daughter cells after mitosis are genetically identical to the parent cell and have the same number of chromosomes.
2. Meiosis produces four non - identical daughter cells with half the chromosome number for sexual reproduction, while mitosis produces two identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number for growth and repair.
3. Somatic cells (found throughout the body); Germ cells (found in reproductive organs).
