The first correlation below shows the relationship between types of cell division. Below that is a correlation showing the types of cells that each type of cell division produces. Finish the bottom correlation based on the type of cells produced.

Mitosis: Meiosis

Stomatic cell:

Gamete cell

Zygote cell

Asexual cell

Diploid cell

Gamete cell

Mitosis produces which cell type?

haploid

diploid

chromosome

gamete

diploid

Which describes the four cells that are produced at the end of meiosis?

identical haploid cells

genetically different diploid cells

genetically different haploid cells

identical diploid cells

genetically different haploid cells

Which statement best explains why meiosis produces haploid cells rather than diploid cells?

Haploid cells join to form an organism that has half the number of chromosomes as the parent.

Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes.

Haploid cells join to form an organism that has double the number of chromosomes as the parent.

Haploid cells join to form an organism that is genetically identical to the parent.

Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes.

A cell contains the same DNA as its parent cell. This is a result of which process?

mitosis

meiosis

gamete formation

fertilization

mitosis

Which describes the process of a bacterial cell dividing to create two daughter cells?

binary fission

fertilization

meiosis

gamete formation

binary fission

Scientists studied reproduction in the New Zealand mud snail to answer the question, "Are there benefits to reproducing sexually or asexually?" Which of these hypotheses would least likely aid the scientists as they worked to answer the question?

Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation.

Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it allows the snails to produce more offspring.

Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it allows for snails to have increased genetic variation.

Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails' need for social interaction.

Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails' need for social interaction.

Which of these pairings is correct?
