Question Detail
Question
Somatic cells are produced by meiosis, while sex cells are produced by mitosis.
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
This statement is completely reversed. Somatic cells (body cells) are produced by mitosis, which results in genetically identical diploid daughter cells. Sex cells (gametes) are produced by meiosis, which results in genetically unique haploid cells.
Hint
Which type of division produces identical body cells, and which produces unique gametes?
