Which of these statements is true?

A.
Mitosis produces four identical cells.

B.
Mitosis brings genetic variety to a species.

C.
Meiosis involves two cycles of cell division.

D.
Meiosis helps your body heal itself.

Answer 1

Mitosis is when cell divides into 2 genetically identical cells which have 46 chromosomes each meaning full set of chromosomes
Meiosis is when a cell divides in 2 cycles, firsts it divides into 2 cells then these cells divide further into two cells each totally forming 4 genetically NON IDENTICAL and each will have half set of chromosomes which means 23
so

A.
Mitosis produces four identical cells.
absolutely wrong, it produces 2 identical cells not 4

B.
Mitosis brings genetic variety to a species.
again wrong, result of mitosis is genetically identical cells so no variation possible

D.
Meiosis helps your body heal itself.
does not makes sense, body heals itself by replacing damaged or old cells and that happens only by mitosis because genetically identical cells are needed

C.
Meiosis involves two cycles of cell division.
Yes meiosis does involve 2 cycles :) in first cycle it produces 2 cells and then in 2 cycle these 2 cells divide further and result is 4 cells
