Cell Division

Name the process in the diagram.

• Meiosis

• Mitosis

• Endocytosis

• Phagocytosis

Which of the following best describes meiosis?

• It is carried out in all tissues that require cell replacement.

• It occurs only in cells in the reproductive structures of organisms.

• It happens in all tissues except the brain and spinal cord

• It is the first stage of mitosis

• 14
• 28
• 47
• 112
