Question

State the following statements are true or false.
The most significant feature of mitosis is the reduction of karyotypic number of chromosomes to half.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Mitosis refers to the equal and same division of cells as their parent cell. Cell division gives rise to genetically identical cells in which the number of chromosomes is maintained. Meiosis on the other hand is a type of division

that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes.

So, the correct option is 'False'.
