Mitosis and Meiosis

The diagram shows a reproductive process in a protist. Which statement is true about the daughter cells formed during this process?

• Two daughter cells are formed that are both different from the parent cell.

• Two daughter cells are formed that are the same as the parent cell.

• Two daughter cells are formed that share some of the characteristics of the parent cell.

• Two daughter cells are formed that are similar to each other but different from the parent cell.

A cell becomes injured and can no longer carry out mitosis. Which statement describes the most immediate effect on the cell?

• It would be more susceptible to disease.

• It would accumulate harmful toxins and wastes.

• It would be unable to break down sugars for energy.

• It would be unable to divide into new cells preventing growth.

The diagram shows the process of mitosis. What is the purpose of this process?

• It helps the cell function efficiently.

• It helps the cell form energy molecules.

• It helps the cell make an exact copy of itself.

• It helps the cell increase its genetic material.

A gardener cut her finger while pruning shrubs. She noticed that after two weeks the wound had nearly healed with just a small scar remaining. Which statement describes what will happen next?

• Each one of the individual cells near the wound will grow in size to cover the injured part.

• Cells will be transported from distant areas to the wound to cover the injured area.

• The cells near the wound will produce identical cells by mitosis to repair the damaged tissues.

• A material will be released by the injured cells that will cover the wound and repair the cells.
