Question

Mitosis and meiosis are methods of cell division.

Which of the following is true of these two methods?
Mitosis involves only one division, while meiosis involves two divisions.
Meiosis involves only one division, while mitosis involves two divisions.
Mitosis involves two or more divisions, while meiosis involves exactly two divisions.
Meiosis involves two or more divisions, while mitosis involves exactly two divisions.

Answer 1

Mitosis involves only one division, while meiosis involves two divisions. ^^

Answer 2

The correct answer would be the first option.

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which sister chromatids of the chromosomes are separated into two daughter cells.

Each cell gets the same number of chromosomes as present in the parent cell. It is used in the cell or tissue repair and growth.

Meiosis is a type of cell division which includes two sets of divisions; meiosis I and meiosis II.

Meiosis I includes the division of homologous chromosomes whereas meiosis II includes the division of sister chromatids.

It results in the formation of four daughter cells from a single parent, each daughter cell contains half the chromosomes of the parent cell.

It helps in the production of gametes in sexually reproducing organisms.
