Question 15 • Biology

Which of these pairings is correct?

Answer
A
mitosis, part of sexual reproduction because it produces haploids
B
mitosis, part of asexual reproduction because it produces diploids
C
meiosis, part of sexual reproduction because it produces diploids
D
meiosis, part of asexual reproduction because it produces haploids

Explanation

Mitosis is used in asexual reproduction and produces daughter cells with the same chromosome number as the parent cell. In diploid organisms, those daughter cells are diploid. Meiosis is associated with sexual reproduction, but it produces haploid cells, so the other pairings mix up the process, reproduction type, or chromosome number.
