Amanda is making a poster to describe the two types of cell division. She draws an outline of a human body on a poster. Amanda wants to show diagrams of mitosis and meiosis zooming out from the different parts of the body where they take place. Which of these choices correctly shows the location for a type of cell division?
A
bone-meiosis
B
testes-meiosis
C
ovaries-mitosis
D
stomach-meiosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Most of the time when people refer to “cell division, ” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two kinds of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. What’s the Difference? Mitosis produces two genetically identical “daughter” cells from a single “parent” cell, whereas meiosis produces cells that are genetically unique from the parent and contain only half as much DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two distinct types of cell division out of which the first one is vegetative division, wherein each daughter cell duplicates the parent cell called mitosis. The second one is meiosis, which divides into four haploid daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solution : The type of cell division shown in the diagram is meiosis.
