Question

homework - mitosis and meiosis
which of these statements is correct about mitosis and meiosis in humans?
○ mitosis makes haploid gametes; meiosis makes diploid body cells
○ mitosis makes diploid gametes; meiosis makes haploid body cells
○ mitosis makes haploid body cells; meiosis makes diploid gametes
○ mitosis makes diploid body cells; meiosis makes haploid gametes

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell - division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth, producing diploid body cells. Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the production of haploid gametes.

Answer:

Mitosis makes diploid body cells; meiosis makes haploid gametes
