CELL DIVISION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement best describes the outcomes of both meiosis and mitosis?
A
Cell division results in daughter cells that contain DNA.
B
Each daughter cell has two complete sets of chromosomes.
C
Within a cell, two chromosomes pair up and exchange segments of genetic material.
D
Genetically identical daughter cells are produced that can function as body cells or sex cells.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which statement best describes the outcomes of both meiosis and mitosis? Cell division results in daughter cells that contain DNA. Each daughter cell has two complete sets of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -D. Correct-Cells produced through mitosis contain DNA identical to the parent cells, whereas meiosis produces cells that are haploid and often genetically different.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following best describes mitosis and meiosis result in daughter cells with different chromosomes? Mitosis produces two identical diploid daughter cells after one round of division. Meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells after two rounds of division.

Detailed explanation-5: -Correct answer: Mitosis is a process where a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells. Because the daughter cells contain twice the genetic material of the parent cell, they are referred to as “diploid.”
