CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which process divides twice?
A
Mitosis
B
Meiosis
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In meiosis, a single cell divides twice to produce four daughter cells. These daughter cells or sex cells have exactly half the genetic material of normal gametes. Meiosis necessitates two divisions since it produces a haploid cell with half the amount of chromosomes. Thus meiosis occurs twice.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like mitosis, meiosis also has distinct stages called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. A key difference, however, is that during meiosis, each of these phases occurs twice-once during the first round of division, called meiosis I, and again during the second round of division, called meiosis II.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Diploid eukaryotic cell enters in meiosis, divides twice to form haploid daughter cells, also called gametes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Key Takeaways: Mitosis vs Meiosis The division of a cell occurs once in mitosis but twice in meiosis. Two daughter cells are produced after mitosis and cytoplasmic division, while four daughter cells are produced after meiosis.
