Video transcript

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So, mitosis and meiosis are two types of cell division processes that occur in a protic cells. Only B ayo cells, only C plant cells, only D animal cells only. Now, let's go over each of our answer choices. Beginning by answer choice. A we have protic cells only. So does mitosis and may use occur in protic cells? The answer is no, we know that in protic cells we're going to have occur in a process called binary fission. Therefore, this is an incorrect statement and we can cancel it out. Moving on. We have C and D. Now, the reason why we're going to take a look at them both together is because they have only now mitosis and meiosis does occur in plant cells and it does occur in animal cells, but it doesn't occur only in animal cells and plant cells. There's actually many organisms that undergo mitosis and meiosis. Therefore, these two statements are going to be incorrect because all of these organisms that undergo mitosis and meiosis can be classified into a bigger group, which is called ears, which is going to be answer choice. B echoic cells only, this is a true statement. Only eyo cells are capable of undergoing mitosis and meiosis. Now, examples can be plant and animal cells. However, it it is not limited to them. Therefore, we can highlight answer choice B cells only as the final answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
