Question
Meiosis is relatively rare and mitosis is relatively common. Which of the following makes meiosis different from mitosis?
|
Meiosis produces DNA-less cells. |
|
We don't fully understand meiosis mechanisms. |
|
All gametes are diploid, whereas daughter cells from mitosis are haploid. |
|
The resulting cells (gametes) are haploid. |
