To solve the question, we need to identify whether each statement relates to mitosis, meiosis, or both. Let's analyze each statement step by step. 1. **One cell divides two times to form four cells**: - This process is characteristic of **meiosis**. In meiosis, one diploid cell undergoes two rounds of division (meiosis I and meiosis II) to produce four haploid cells. - Answer: **Meiosis** 2. **Formation of gametes (egg and sperm)**: - Gametes are produced through the process of **meiosis**. This is the specialized type of cell division that results in the formation of sperm and egg cells. ...
