Question

5. The image above represents a cell going

through meiosis. How do you know the
image does not represent mitosis?

A Mitosis only has one cell division set.
B Mitosis only occurs in
reproductive
cells, such as the ones in the picture.
C Mitosis is involved in the production of
haploid sex cells.
D Mitosis divides cells into eight cells, not
four.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A, that is, mitosis only has one cell division set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two kinds of nuclear division that takes place at the time of cell differentiation are meiosis and mitosis. In the process of mitosis, the cells of the body get divide, while in meiosis the sex cells are differentiated.

While going through the process of mitosis, the cell divides only one time, on the other hand, during meiosis a cell divides two times. After going through mitosis production of two diploid daughter cells takes place, while after going through meiosis generation of four haploid daughter cells takes place. Thus, it is clear from the diagram that the process of meiosis is taking place, as the formation of four haploid cells is taking place as the cell is dividing two times.
