Solution

The text you provided seems to be a mix of instructions for a biology exam or assignment, specifically focusing on cell division and stem cells. Here's how I would answer the questions:

  1. For the table about cell division:

    • How cells are replaced: Mitosis only
    • How gametes are made: Meiosis only
    • How a fertilised egg undergoes cell division: Both mitosis and meiosis
    • How copies of the genetic information are made: Both mitosis and meiosis
    • How genetically identical cells are produced: Mitosis only
  2. For the calculation of the image size of the plant cell, you've already done it correctly. The image size of the plant cell is indeed 200 micrometers.

  3. For the questions about stem cells:

    • (i) One source of human stem cells, other than human embryos, could be adult tissues, like bone marrow.
    • (ii) One advantage of using stem cells from embryos, compared with cells from adult tissues, is that embryonic stem cells
