Question

Hellpp.. :c
There are two main types of cell division—mitosis and meiosis. Which of the following is a true statement about the end products of cell division by these two processes?
The end product of mitosis is four cells, whereas the end product of meiosis is two cells.
The end product of mitosis is two cells, whereas the end product of meiosis is four cells.
The end result of both mitosis and meiosis is the production of two cells.
The end result of both mitosis and meiosis is the production of four cells.

Answer 1

The end product of mitosis is two cells, whereas the end product of meiosis is four cells.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B, The end product of mitosis is two cells, whereas the end product of meiosis is four cells

Reason -

In mitosis, a single cell divides to form two identical daughter cells with the purpose of growing and replacing of old and worn out cell. While during meiosis, a single cell divides to form four daughter cells. Each of the daughter cell have just half the chromosome number as that of their parents. Meiosis is responsible for producing sex cells or gametes.
