Which is false? (Sorry to post a homework question but after reviewing my notes many times I cannot make an clear argument for one of these answers to contain false material)
1) Mitosis will not alter the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells.
2) Both haploids and diploids can undergo mitotic reproduction.
3) Gametes are the only haploid forms in a haplontic life cycle.
4) Meiosis is one mechanism by which recombination can occur.
True. Gametes are always haploid
True. Recombination occurs in Meiosis
True. Mitosis just copies eukaryotic DNA w/o changing the chromosome number
True. Haploids and diploids can both replicate by Mitosis
Maybe three is false because it says '; gametes are only haploid in Haplontic'; when in actuality they are haploid in Diplontic, Haplontic, and always haploid. Thoughts? Help? Thanks.They all seem true to me (Biology Question)?
3) Gametes are the only haploid forms in a haplontic life cycle.
While some haploid cells are gametes, some may be free-living haploid cells which will continue to reproduce asexually and do not express the factors necessary for gamete fusion.
All gametes are haploid, but not all haploid cells are gametes.They all seem true to me (Biology Question)?
B. Haploid cells cannot not undergo further mitotic divisions. The only way to get more haploid cells is through meiosis of diploid cells.
