Question

read it! mitosis and meiosis - questions 1. which is not true about mitosis? a. the chromosomes in the daughter cells are half the number from the parent cell. b. the chromosomes in the daughter cells are the same number as the parent cell. c. each nuclei is identical to the parent nucleus d. the four main stages are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase 2. which is not true about meiosis? a. the chromosomes in the daughter cells are half the number from the parent cell. b. the chromosomes in the daughter cells are the same number as the parent cell. c. the only cells that will undergo meiosis will become sperm or egg cells used for reproduction. d. the shuffling of genes happens in meiosis. 3. what is the purpose of cell division? a. growth of new cells b. replacement of older, worn - out cells c. used for reproduction d. all of the above

Explanation:

1. In mitosis, daughter - cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, not half. So option A is incorrect.
2. In meiosis, the chromosome number in daughter cells is half of that in the parent cell. Option B is not true for meiosis.
3. Cell division is used for growth of new cells, replacement of older, worn - out cells, and for reproduction. So option D is correct for the purpose of cell division.

Answer:

1. A. The chromosomes in the daughter cells are half the number from the parent cell.
2. B. The chromosomes in the daughter cells are the same number as the parent cell.
3. D. All of the above
