Question #20
Which statement best explains one reason why the cells produced from meiosis are different from the
cells produced during mitosis?
A
During meiosis, one cell divides once into two cells, while in mitosis, the cell divides twice into four
cells.
B.
During meiosis, sections of DNA trade places, producing daughter cells different from the parent
cells, while in mitosis, the daughter cells are identical.
с
During meiosis, the genetic material is not copied, while in mitosis, the genetic material is copied.
D
During meiosis, DNA is intentionally mutated, producing daughter cells with new DNA sequences,
while in mitosis, the DNA does not mutate.

The statement which best explains a reason why the daughter cells produced from meiosis are different from the  daughter cells produced during mitosis is: B.  During meiosis, sections of DNA trade places, producing daughter cells different from the parent  cells, while in mitosis, the daughter cells are identical.

Cell division can be defined as a biological process through which a living cell changes from a generalized cell type into a specialized cell type, in order to perform specific functions or tasks in the body of a living organism.

Basically, there are two (2) main types of cell division and these include:

  • Meiosis: it is a type of cell division (duplication) through which a single cell divides twice to produce four (4) haploid cells (gamete). Thus, the daughter cells are different or unidentical.  

  • Mitosis: it is a type of cell division (duplication) through which a single parent cell produces two (2) genetically identical daughter cells.

In conclusion, a reason why the daughter cells produced from meiosis are different from the  daughter cells produced during mitosis is that , sections of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) trade places during meiosis to produce daughter cells that are different from the parent  cells, while in mitosis, the daughter cells produced by a single parent cell are genetically identical.
