Select the correct options based on the correct statements given below.
Statement I - Mitosis is also called the equational division
Stament II - Mitosis takes 30 minutes to 3 hours to complete, depending on the species and type of tissues.
Only Statement I is true
Only Statement II is true
Statement I and Statement II is correct
Statement I and Statement II is incorrect
Statement I - Mitosis is also called the equational division - This statement is true. Mitosis is called equational division because the daughter cells produced after mitosis have an equal number of chromosomes as that of the parent cell. During mitosis, the genetic material is duplicated, and each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
Statement II - Mitosis takes 30 minutes to 3 hours to complete, depending on the species and type of tissues - This statement is also true. The duration of mitosis varies depending on the species and type of tissues involved. In some cells, mitosis can be completed within 30 minutes, while in others, it may take up to 3 hours. The time required for mitosis is also influenced by factors such as temperature, pH, and the presence of certain chemicals.
Option (3) is the correct answer.
