Question

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone, let's take a look at this question together. Which of the following statements about mitosis and mitosis is false. So let's recall what we've learned about mitosis and mitosis. To compare the two and take a look at the following statements to figure out which of the following is false. So first let's talk about what we know about mitosis. So we know that in mitosis we have chromosomes at the end of that my topic cell division and we know that it is deployed and we also know that mitosis only occurs in somatic cells which is important. And we know that those daughter cells that we end up with at the end of mitosis are identical. So we have identical daughter cells. And so looking at mitosis to compare it to mitosis, we know that we have 23 chromosomes and that that is papa Lloyd and we know that it only occurs in sex cells which are also called germ cells. And lastly we know that the daughter cells are different. We have different daughter. So and that is because of that crossing over or we have recombination and so, looking at what we know about mitosis as well as mitosis to compare and contrast them. Let's take a look at the following statements to figure out which one is false. Answer choice A says they differ in the number of resulting chromosomes which we can see in mitosis. We have 46 mitosis. We have 23. So answer choice A is a true statement. Answer. Choice B says mitosis produces deployed cells and mitosis produces hap Lloyd cells, which we also No is a true statement. So answer choice B is true. Answer choice C says they both produce genetically identical daughter cells, which we know that mitosis produces those identical daughter cells. However, may aosis produces different daughter cells because of the crossing over and recombination and its cell division. So answer choice C. Is not a true statement. And just to double check answer choice D says mitosis occurs in somatic cells and mitosis creates only germ cells, which we know that mitosis only occurs in the somatic cells and mitosis occurs in the sex cells, which is another name for those germ cells. So answer choice D. Is a true statement, which means that answer choice C. Is the only statement that is here about mitosis and mitosis. That is false. So it is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
