1.Are the daughter cells produced by mitosis genetically different from the mother cell? Expalin.

2.Describe how the daughter cells producted by meiosis are different from the mother cell.

3.What would happen if sperm and eggs were produced by mitosis instead of meiosis? If a spern producted by mitosis, how many chromoseomes would the zygote have ?

Solution

1.Are the daughter cells produced by mitosis genetically different from the mother cell? Expalin.

Answer:

Mitosis is a process where a mother cell divides into two identical daughter cells. In mitosis replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei forming two identical daughter cells.

2.Describe how the daughter cells produced by meiosis are different from the mother cell.

Answer:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells.

The daughter cells will have half the number of chromosomes that of mother cell. Although chromosomes replicate they are divided among 4 cells forming cells with half the number of chromosomes compared to mother cell.

3.What would happen if sperm and eggs were produced by mitosis instead of meiosis? If a spern producted by mitosis, how many chromoseomes would the zygote have ?

if sperm and eggs were produced by mitosis instead of meiosis they would end up having same number of chromosomes that of parent cell.

The zygote formed as a result of sperm and egg fusion would have doubled its chromosome number with every generation.
