Students have asked these similar questions
Even though the processes are very similar, mitosis and meiosis are two very distinct processes. What is the difference between meiosis and mitosis?
a.
Mitosis results in two identical sister cells genetically identical to the original parent cell, while meiosis also starts with diploid but results in haploid cells.
b.
Mitosis only occurs in plants and single cell organisms, while meiosis only occurs in animals.
c.
Mitosis starts with diploid but results in haploid cells, while meiosis results in two identical sister cells genetically identical to the original parent cell.
Which division of meiosis (meiosis I or meiosis II)
a. most resembles mitosis?
b. cuts the chromosome number in half?
c. produces 2 haploid cells?
d. always begins with diploid cells?
What is the function of the kinetochore during mitosis?a. It promotes the attachment of monads to each other toform a dyad.b. It is a location where a kinetochore microtubule can attachto a chromosome.c. It promotes the condensation of chromosomes duringprophase.d. Both a and b are correct.
