Question

Which of the following characteristics of mitosis is NOT correct?

• A.
  Mitosis occurs in somatic cells
• B. 2N----->2N
• C. 2N----->N
• D.
  Mitosis is important for growth and repair of multicellular organisms

Answer 1

The correct option is C

2N----->N

Meiosis results in 2N --> N; mitosis results in 2N --> 2N.
In meiosis a diploid cell that has 2n chromosomes produces four cells, each of which contains n chromosomes.
During mitosis one cell divides once to form two identical cells in which the chromosome number is the same as the parental cell (2N)
