Question

As baby scorpions grow larger, which process

occurs in their body (somatic) cells?
A.Meiosis splits the chromosome
numbers by four
B.Meiosis produces all of the new
body cells.
C.Mitosis makes copies of the cell
nuclei.
D.Mitosis separates one cell into four
cells.

Answer 1

c because meisosis is in the egg or sperm cells and mitosis is the growth of cells. And mitosis does not separateone cell into four

Answer 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis takes place in most parts of the body (somatic cells), whereas meiosis takes place in only the reproductive cells (eggs and sperm).

The purpose of mitosis is to make two identical daughter cells, as opposed to meiosis where the purpose is to produce four non-identical daughter cells with different genetic material.

Knowing this information, we can conclude that the only possible option to choose from is option C.
