Question

the picture shows four different processes that occur in cells, each having 82 chromosomes, statement. use the picture to answer any questions that follow. which cell underwent meiosis? a. cell w b. cell x c. cell y d. cell z

Explanation:

Meiosis results in four daughter - cells with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. Cell Z starts with a parent cell having 82 chromosomes and produces four daughter - cells with 41 chromosomes each, which is characteristic of meiosis. Mitosis, on the other hand, produces two daughter - cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Cell X shows this pattern of mitosis. Cell W is showing DNA replication prior to cell division. Cell Y is not clearly defined in terms of division type but does not match the meiosis pattern.

Answer:

D. Cell Z
