Question

consider the total number of chromosomes in a single cell resulting from mitosis and the total number of chromosomes in a single cell resulting from meiosis. how do they compare? use the simulation to test your prediction before answering. mitosis results in the same number of chromosomes that result from meiosis. mitosis results in half the number of chromosomes that result from meiosis. mitosis results in twice the number of chromosomes that result from meiosis. mitosis results in four times the number of chromosomes that result from meiosis.

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. Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores. So mitosis results in twice the number of chromosomes in a single cell compared to meiosis.

Answer:

Mitosis results in twice the number of chromosomes that result from meiosis.
