Question 17

Which of the following is true based on the process depicted below?

Accepted Answer

mitosis because the result is two copies of the original cell

Answer

mitosis because the result is one single copy of the original cell

Answer

meiosis because the result is one copy of the original cell

Answer

meiosis because the result is two different versions of the original cell
