prostate gland

b)

seminal vesicle

c)

5.

Mitosis and meiosis are both processes involved in reproduction. Which statement correctly compares mitosis and meiosis?

a)

Mitosis results in the production of two genetically unique diploid cells and meiosis produces four

genetically identical haploid cells.

Mitosis and meiosis both produce genetic variation within their daughter cells.

c)

Mitosis and meiosis are both divided into only four distinct phases: prophase, metaphase,

anaphase, and interphase.

d)

Mitosis results in the production of two genetically identical diploid cells and meiosis produces four

genetically unique haploid cells.

6.

How are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction different from each other?
