Check whether each statement is describing mitosis or meiosis.(8 points)

Question

Mitosis Meiosis
Results in cells with identical genetic material

Results in cells with unique combinations of genetic material

The type of cell division that produces body cells

Results in 4 haploid cells

Results in cells with 23 chromosomes

Results in cells with 46 chromosomes

The type of cell division that produces gametes

Results in 2 diploid cells

Answer 1

Here's the classification of each statement:

1. Results in cells with identical genetic material - Mitosis
2. Results in cells with unique combinations of genetic material - Meiosis
3. The type of cell division that produces body cells - Mitosis
4. Results in 4 haploid cells - Meiosis
5. Results in cells with 23 chromosomes - Meiosis (in humans, gametes have 23 chromosomes)
6. Results in cells with 46 chromosomes - Mitosis (in humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes)
7. The type of cell division that produces gametes - Meiosis
8. Results in 2 diploid cells - Mitosis (after mitosis, diploid cells are produced if the starting cell is diploid)
