Question 2
Predict why daughter cell II will or will not be considered a product of mitosis.(1 point)
Responses

Daughter cell II not will be considered a product of mitosis because it has the same the amount of DNA as the parent cell
Daughter cell II not will be considered a product of mitosis because it has the same the amount of DNA as the parent cell

Daughter cell II will not be considered a product of mitosis because it has half the amount of DNA as the parent cell.

Here are the correct answers and explanations for each question based on your prompts:

Question 1: Explain what it most likely means for a daughter cell to be identical to its mother cell.

  • Correct Response: A daughter cell is "identical" to its mother cell if it contains the same genetic information.

    Explanation: In the context of cell division, particularly mitosis, daughter cells are produced that have the same genetic material (DNA) as the mother cell. This results in identical copies of the original cell.

Question 2: Predict why daughter cell II will or will not be considered a product of mitosis.

  • Correct Response: Daughter cell II will be considered a product of mitosis because it has the same amount of DNA as the parent cell.

    Explanation: Mitosis results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell, both containing the same amount of DNA. If daughter cell II has the same amount of DNA as the parent cell, then it is indeed a product of mitosis.

Question 3: Describe the relationship between cell III and the mother cell seen above.

  • Correct Response: Cell III is not identical to the mother cell but is still produced when it undergoes a meiotic division.

    Explanation: Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) that contain half the genetic material of the parent cell. Therefore, cell III, produced through meiosis, will not be identical to the mother cell and will have a different genetic makeup.

These responses reflect a good understanding of mitosis and meiosis in the context of cell biology.
