MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Your normal body cells contain 46 (23 pairs) total chromosomes. How many chromosomes do they have after mitosis is complete?
23
46
92
only half
Answer explanation
After mitosis, the number of chromosomes in normal body cells remains the same. Since normal body cells start with 46 chromosomes, they still have 46 chromosomes after mitosis is complete.

Pick the correct function for mitosis
growth & repair
sexual reproduction
genetic diversity
variation of the species
Answer explanation
Mitosis is primarily responsible for growth and repair of tissues in multicellular organisms. It produces identical daughter cells, which is essential for replacing damaged cells and supporting overall growth.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Type of cells for mitosis
sperm cells
egg cells
gametes
body cells
Answer explanation
Mitosis occurs in body cells (somatic cells) for growth and repair, not in gametes (sperm and egg cells), which undergo meiosis. Therefore, the correct answer is body cells.

Type of cells that meiosis produces
sperm and egg cells
zygotes
skin and bone cells
blood cells and muscle cells
Answer explanation
Meiosis produces gametes, which are specialized cells for sexual reproduction. In humans, these are sperm and egg cells, making 'sperm and egg cells' the correct answer. Other options do not relate to meiosis.

Which process creates 4 daughter cells?
Meiosis
Mitosis
Both
Neither
Answer explanation
Meiosis is the process that results in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. In contrast, mitosis produces two identical daughter cells. Therefore, the correct answer is meiosis.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Which process creates 2 identical daughter cells?
Meiosis
Mitosis
Both
Neither
Answer explanation
Mitosis is the process that results in two identical daughter cells, as it involves a single division of the nucleus and cytoplasm. In contrast, meiosis produces four genetically diverse cells, not identical ones.
