Question

1 for humans, check whether each statement is describing mitosis or meiosis.
the type of cell division that produces body cells
the type of cell division that produces gametes
results in 4 haploid cells
results in 2 diploid cells
results in cells with identical genetic material
results in cells with unique combinations of genetic material
results in cells with 46 chromosomes
results in cells with 23 chromosomes
the process of division occurs twice

Explanation:

Each statement is matched to mitosis or meiosis based on core characteristics of these cell division processes in humans:

1. Mitosis generates somatic/body cells, while meiosis makes gametes (sex cells).
2. Mitosis produces 2 genetically identical diploid (46 chromosomes) cells; meiosis produces 4 genetically unique haploid (23 chromosomes) cells via two rounds of division.
