Final answer:
The statement is true: most cells divide by mitosis and gametes divide by meiosis. Mitosis produces two identical diploid cells while meiosis generates four unique haploid gametes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that most cells in the human body divide according to the process of mitosis, and the gametes divide in a process called meiosis is True. Mitosis results in the production of two genetically identical diploid daughter cells, and is involved in growth and tissue repair. In contrast, meiosis produces four genetically unique haploid gametes. This allows for genetic diversity when gametes from two parents combine during fertilization to form a diploid zygote. Somatic cells (body cells) are not called gametes; instead, they are diploid and undergo mitosis. Gametes are the reproductive cells, like sperm and eggs, that are haploid and result from meiosis. Therefore, statements suggesting body cells are called gametes (a and d) are incorrect, as is statement b from the information given, which implies that somatic and reproductive cells have the same chromosome number and that mitosis, not meiosis, reduces the chromosome number.
