Which of the following statements is FALSE?


 Which of the following statements is FALSE?

  •  meiosis creates genetic diversity in sexually reproducing organisms

  •  gametes are haploid cells produced by meiosis

  •  mitosis produces four genetically identical daughter cells 

  •  somatic cells are diploid cells produced by mitosis


Solutions

Expert Solution

Mitosis produces two cells in one division which are identical, whileas meiosis produces four cells. So option third is false.

Meiosis creates genetic diversity as in pachytene stage crossing over occurs in which exchange of genes segments takes place which creates genetic diversity.

Gametes are always haploid produced as a result of meiosis.

Somatic cells are diploid because no meiosis takes place.
