Question

Learning task no.2.compare the mitosis and meiosis by completing the table.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Number of chromosomal duplications 1 1

Number of cell divisions 1 2

Number of daughter cells produced 2 4

Number of chromosomes in daughter cells 46 chromosomes (diploid cells) 23 chromosomes (haploid cells)

How chromosomes line up during metaphase At the end of metaphase, the chromosomes line up individually on the metaphase plate. In metaphase I the homologous pairs of chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell. In metaphase II the individual chromosomes line up at the equator.

Genetic relationship of daughter cells to parent cell The daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell. Both daughter and parent cells are diploid cells. The daughter cells have genetic diversity due to crossover in prophase I and independent assortment that occurred during meiosis I. Daughter cells are haploid cells and the parent cell is a diploid cell.

Functions performed in the human body Replaces damaged or old somatic cells; essential for growth. Produces gametes in the sex organs; essential for reproduction.
