Question

How are the four cells produced in meiosis similar to the cells produced in mitosis?

A. Cells produced by meiosis or mitosis can form a complete organism.
B. Cells produced by meiosis or mitosis have the same amount of cytoplasm.
C. Cells produced by meiosis or mitosis have the same size plasma membranes.
D. Cells produced by meiosis or mitosis contain chromosomes from the parental cells.

Answer 1

Answer: D

Explanation: Cells produced by meiosis or mitosis contain chromosomes from the parental cells: This statement is correct. Both meiosis and mitosis involve the replication and distribution of chromosomes. The daughter cells produced in both processes inherit genetic material (chromosomes) from the parental cells. In mitosis, the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell, while in meiosis, the daughter cells have half the chromosome number (haploid) and are genetically diverse.
