Question

Which is the correct result of mitosis and
meiosis?

Answer 1

B. Two diploid cell (2n) and 4 haploid cell (n). Mitosis for somatic cell but meiosis for gametes

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ 2 \ diploid \ cells \ and \ 4 \ haploid \ cells}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division. It occurs in somatic cells, which are basically any cells other than sex cells. A cell replicates the genetic material then undergoes one division to create 2 identical cells, both with a complete set of chromosomes. These are known as diploid cells.

Meiosis is another type of cell division, but it occurs only in sex cells, called gametes. The cell replicates the genetic material and the chromosomes cross over, which creates completely unique cells. The cell divide to create 2 cells, but then they divide again to create 4 cells. They each have half of the chromosomes of a somatic cell, so they are haploid cells

So, mitosis results in 2 diploid cells and meiosis forms 4 haploid cells.
