How is mitosis different from meiosis? a)unlike meiosis, mitosis results in four haploid cells. b)unlike meiosis, mitosis produces eggs and sperm. c)unlike meiosis, mitosis occurs only in somatic cells. d)unlike meiosis, mitosis involves two cell divisions.

The answer should be C, unlike meiosis, mitosis occurs only in somatic cells (body cells such as skin cells, muscles cells etc)

Mitosis is a process of cell division that produces 2 daughter cells that are genetically identical to both the other daughter cell and the parent cell. This process includes am exact duplication of genetic information, which means, the daughter cells have the exact number of chromosomes to the parent cell. We call these daughter cells as diploid. On the other hand, meiosis is the process of cell division that produces 4 daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cells. They only have half of the original number of chromosome. Meiosis includes 2 cell divisions, and the daughter cells are called haploid.

Therefore, since mitosis produces 2 identical daughter cells, they're found in somatic cells, as they're used for growth or development. You wouldn't suddenly grow some muscles cells in your skin cells, therefore mitosis cells must be identical. However, meiosis cells since they only have half of the original chromosome number, they're used in producing gametes, sperm and eggs for human. So that, when 2 of these gamete cells fertilizes, the zygote can restore the actual number of chromosome, which is 46 for human, each egg and sperm carry 23.

So, your answer is C.

Science27 of the most iconic, jaw-dropping photos of the earth and the moon from spacedave mosher  oct 1, 2018, 11: 13 am etnasa/flickrapollo 11 astronauts took this photo of earth on july 20, 1969.from the ground, earth looks like a boundless fertile plain that beckons to be explored and exploited.but astronauts would beg -  and even plead  - to differ."you realize that people often say, 'i hope to go to heaven when i die,'" jim lovell, an astronaut who flew on the apollo 8 and apollo 13 missions to the moon, previously  told business insider. "in reality, if you think about it, you go to heaven when you're born."lovell has seen first-hand that we live on a tiny rock hopelessly lost in the void. he's also quick to tell you it's the only one we've got - a  fragile spaceship  for more than 7 billion people: "you arrive on a planet that has the proper mass, has the gravity to contain water and an atmosphere, which are the very essentials for life. and you arrive on this planet that's orbiting a star just at the right distance - not too far to be too cold, or too close to be too hot - and just at the right distance to absorb that star's energy and then, with that energy, cause life to evolve here in the first place. in reality, you know, god has really given us a stage, just looking at where we were around the moon, a stage on which we perform. and how that play turns out is up to us, i guess."humanity has recorded photos of earth from hundreds, thousands, millions, and even billions of miles away, some of them taken by lovell himself.these images not only scientists study our dynamic world, but also understand how a habitable planet looks from afar, which aids the search for  more worlds. most importantly, however, the images underscore our peculiar existence on  a mote of cosmic dust.take a moment to ponder 27 of the most arresting images of earth that humankind has ever captured from space.a
