Mitosis in Haploid Cells — NEET Biology
🔥 Predicted for NEET 2027In animals, mitotic cell division is only seen in the diploid somatic cells. However, there are few exceptions to this where haploid cells divide by mitosis, for example, male honey bees. Against this, the plants can show mitotic divisions in both haploid and diploid cells. From your recollection of examples of alternation of generations in plants (Chapter 3) identify plant species and stages at which mitosis is seen in haploid cells.
Adjacent to a frequently-asked paragraph in the same chapter.
Choose all correct statements about plant vs animal divisions across mitosis and meiosis: (I) Plant mitosis uses a cell plate; animal mitosis uses a cleavage furrow. (II) Meiosis II chromosome behaviour parallels mitotic segregation of sister chromatids. (III) Bivalents at metaphase I are unique to meiosis. (IV) In animals, mitotic division is only in diploid somatic cells (with noted exceptions like male honey bees).
