Question

compared to human cells resulting from mitotic cell division, human cells resulting from meiotic cell division would have a twice as many chromosomes b the same number of chromosomes c one - half the number of chromosomes d one - quarter as many chromosomes 6 * 5 points a b c d 7 which process allows a mammal to continue to grow in size? a mitosis of sex cells c meiosis of sex cells b mitosis of body cells d meiosis of body cells

Explanation:

1. In mitosis, a cell divides to produce two daughter - cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell (diploid cells). In meiosis, a cell divides to produce four daughter - cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell (haploid cells). So compared to human cells from mitotic division, human cells from meiotic division have one - half the number of chromosomes.
2. Mitosis of body (somatic) cells allows a mammal to grow in size. Mitosis produces new somatic cells that contribute to the increase in the size of the organism. Meiosis is for the production of gametes (sex cells) and is involved in sexual reproduction, not in the growth of the organism in terms of size.

Answer:

1. C. one - half the number of chromosomes
2. B. mitosis of body cells
