In meiosis, the daughter cells are identical to the parent cell
|
|
True
|
|
|
False
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as compared to their parents (one copy of each chromosome). The resulting cells from meiosis are not genetically identical because of the recombination of genes that occurred during prophase 1.
Detailed explanation-2: -During meiosis, the parent cell is reduced into half the number of chromosomes. It results in the production of four haploid cells, and they are not genetically identical.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies-or ‘replicates’-its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
