A student observes several slides with different cell types under a microscope.
Slide
Type of Cells
Slide 1 Liver cell of a mouse
Slide 2 Sperm cell of a human
Slide 3 Skin cells of a human
Slide 4 Egg cells of a mouse
Which pair of slides contains cells that resulted from meiosis?
O Slide 1 and Slide 3
O Slide 2 and Slide 4
O Slide 2 and Slide 3
Slide 1 and Slide 4

Respuesta :

Answer:

The slides containing cells resulting from meiosis are slides 2 and 4.

Explanation:

The cells on slide two are human sperm, while on slide four are mouse eggs. Both sperm and eggs are sex cells or gametes, produced through meiosis.

Meiosis is the mechanism of reductional cell division that serves to obtain gametes, a process called gametogenesis. In meiosis, four haploid daughter cells, the gametes, are obtained from a diploid cell.

The other options (slides) are not correct because :

  • Mouse liver and human skin cells are somatic cells, produced by mitosis.
