Let's start off by defining our answer choices:
0. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), whereas gametes are haploid (n).
,
1. Stomatic cells are created by meiosis, whereas gametes are created by mitosis.
,
2. Stomatic cells are haploid (n), whereas gametes are diploid (2n).
,
3. Stomatic cells can spontaneously change into gametes, but gametes must remain gametes.
Let's define what stomatic cells and gametes are:
• Stomatic cells are ,diploid cells, (2n). This is because these cells contain 2 sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Stomatic cells are formed through ,mitosis,.
,
• Gametes cells are ,haploid cells, (n). This is because these cells contain ,1, chromosome (from each ,homologous pair,). Gametes are formed through ,meiosis,.
Now, let's use the information about somatic cells and gametes to obtain our answer:
0. Stomatic cells are diploid (2n), whereas gametes are haploid (n). - this answer choice is ,true,. Stomatic cells are indeed diploid and gametes are indeed haploid.
,
1. Stomatic cells are created by meiosis, whereas gametes are created by mitosis. - this answer choice is ,false,. ,Stomatic, cells are created by ,mitosis, and ,gametes, are created by ,meiosis,. This answer choice is flipped.
,
2. Stomatic cells are haploid (n), whereas gametes are diploid (2n). - this answer choice is ,false,. ,Stomatic, cells are ,diploid (2n), while ,gametes, are ,haploid (n),. This answer choice is flipped.
,
3. Stomatic cells can spontaneously change into gametes, but gametes must remain gametes. - this answer choice is ,false,. Stomatic cells cannot change into gametes spontaenously.
Therefore, our answer choice is A.
