Pick out the correct statements.
(A) Mitosis takes place in the somatic cells and meiosis takes place in the germ cells.
(B) During mitosis, the DNA replicates once for one cell division and in meiosis, the DNA replicates twice for two cell divisions.
(C) Mitosis and meiosis occur both in sexually reproducing organisms.

Q. Which of the following statements is true?
(i) Mitosis is preceded by one cycle of DNA replication and meiosis is preceded by two cycles of DNA replication.
(ii) In sexually reproducing organisms, meiosis is the only type of cell division observed.
(iii) Meiotic cell division is essential for the production of haploid gametes.

Q. The difference between mitosis and meiosis is that in meiosis
I. Two cell divisions take place.
II. DNA replicates during interphase.
III. Haploid cells are produced from diploid cells.

Q.

Cell division serves the following functions: ______________, _____________ and___________.Mitosis helps in ___________, ___________and________________. DNA replication happens once during__________ followed by_____________. Humans have___________ chromosomes i.e. diploid condition.

In meiosis, parent cells are _______________ while daughter cells are ______________________. Meiosis occurs with two cell divisions – first is reduction division and second is mitotic division. In simple organisms all germ cells are generally similar. In complex organisms, germ cells take on differential roles. The egg is generally large and contains a food source. The sperm is small and motile. Conventionally, __________________ germ cells are called the male gamete.

Q. State the following statements are true or false.
Mitosis takes place regularly in somatic cells, whereas meiosis occurs only in germ cells.
