Answer to Question 2

A
Meiosis is the cell division seen only in sex cells. The chromosomes divide in half before the cell divides. Translocation is a problem that can occur during meiosis. Mutations are errors in duplication, rearrangements, or the loss of parts of the DNA code. Metabolism is any physical or chemical change that takes place in the body, and is not limited to reproduction of cells.
