While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
<ul> <li>Mitosis is a form of cell division producing two genetically identical daughter cells.</li> <li>It occurs in body (somatic) cells.</li> <li>Meiosis is a form of cell division producing four genetically distinct daughter cells.</li> <li>It occurs in cells that produce gametes.</li> <li>Both processes involve replication and division.</li> </ul> The student wants to contrast mitosis and meiosis. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?Which choice most effectively makes the student's point?
- Acheck_circle
Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells; meiosis produces four genetically distinct daughter cells.
- B
Meiosis occurs in gamete-producing cells.
- C
Both involve replication and division.
- D
Mitosis happens in body cells.
Explanation
The goal is contrast. Choice B juxtaposes outputs and identity. A is similarity, C and D each describe one process.
