Question

By the end of mitosis, _______ cells are produced, whereas by the end of meiosis, _______ cells are produced. A. four; two B. two; four C. three; one D. one; three

Answer 1

B. Two; four is the answer

Answer 2

For mitosis, two cells are created, and for meiosis, four cells are produced. So the answer is B. Because in mitosis, the chromosome replicates once and divides once. In meiosis, the chromosome replicates once and divides twice. That's why the cell has half of the chromosomes after meiosis.
