Question

Which of the following is NOT TRUE for both mitosis and meiosis?

a they both preceded by interphase
b. they both split cells thru cytokinesis
c. they divide according to a common pathway
d. they are both involved in the division of somatic cells​

Answer 1

d. they are both involved in the division of somatic cells​

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis and meiosis are both types of cell divisions that occur in the system of living organisms. However, mitosis and meiosis are different in the type and number of daughter cells they give rise to and also where they occur.

Mitosis, which takes place in the SOMATIC OR BODY CELLS of living organisms, give rise to two daughter cells that are genetically identical to their parent cell. On the other hand, meiosis takes place strictly in the CELLS OF REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS, and gives rise to four genetically different daughter cells.
