Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A farmer in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, takes a cutting from a healthy cassava plant to propagate new plants. Which type of cell division allows the cutting to grow into a new plant with identical genetic information to the parent?

  1. Meiosis
  2. Mitosis
  3. Binary fission
  4. Budding
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BMitosis
Award 1 mark for identifying mitosis as the type of cell division that produces genetically identical daughter cells. A is incorrect — meiosis produces genetically different cells with half the chromosome number and is involved in sexual reproduction. C is incorrect — binary fission occurs in prokaryotes such as bacteria, not in plant cells. D is incorrect — budding is a form of asexual reproduction in organisms like yeast, not the type of cell division occurring in plant cuttings.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following correctly describes the number of daughter cells and their chromosome content at the end of mitosis in a human body cell?

  1. Two daughter cells, each with 23 chromosomes
  2. Two daughter cells, each with 46 chromosomes
  3. Four daughter cells, each with 23 chromosomes
  4. Four daughter cells, each with 46 chromosomes
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BTwo daughter cells, each with 46 chromosomes
Award 1 mark for correct identification. A is incorrect — 23 chromosomes would result from meiosis, not mitosis. C is incorrect — four daughter cells are produced in meiosis, not mitosis. D is incorrect — mitosis produces two cells, not four.
