Question

When comparing mitosis and meiosis, which of the following statements are false? group of answer choices

- mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction that is necessary in the grown and repair of somatic cells and meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction.
- mitosis results in two daughter cells and meiosis results in four daughter cells.
- daughter cells produced during mitosis are haploid and have half the chromosome number as the parent cells and daughter cells produced during meiosis have the same chromosome number as the parent cell.
- daughter cells produced during mitosis are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell whereas daughter cells produced during meiosis are genetically dissimilar to each other and to the parent cell.

Answer 1

Answer: The false statement is "daughter cells produced during mitosis are haploid and have half the chromosome number as the parent cells and daughter cells produced, during meiosis have the same chromosomes number as the parent cell"

Explanation: The daughter cells resulting from mitosis are DIPLOID and is identical to the parent cell, there are four daughter cells resulting from meiosis which are haploid and are genetically distinct
