Question

part 1. complete the table below.
unit 3 quiz
mitosis
meiosis ii
how many cells does it start
with?
how many cells does it end
with?
are the starting cells diploid or
haploid?
do the cells end as diploid or
haploid?
are they somatic cells or
gametes
how many phases does it
have?

Explanation:

• Mitosis:
• Starts with 1 cell.
• Ends with 2 cells.
• Starting cells are diploid.
• Cells end as diploid.
• They are somatic cells (not gametes).
• Has 1 phase.
• Meiosis II:
• Starts with 2 cells (from Meiosis I).
• Ends with 4 cells.
• Starting cells are haploid (products of Meiosis I).
• Cells end as haploid.
• They are gametes (in the context of sexual reproduction, as Meiosis overall produces gametes and Meiosis II is part of that process).
• Has 1 phase (as Meiosis is divided into Meiosis I and Meiosis II, each with their own phases, but here referring to Meiosis II as a single - stage in the table context).
