**Bonus Question:**

**Explain the difference between mitosis and meiosis in cell division.**

**Answer Key:**

1. (c) Chloroplast
2. (d) Amino acid
3. (d) Heredity
4. (c) Protists
5. (c) Decomposers

**Bonus Answer:**

Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells with the same
number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It occurs in somatic cells (body cells) and plays
a crucial role in growth and repair.

Meiosis, on the other hand, is a type of cell division that produces four daughter cells with
half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It occurs in sex cells (gametes) and
plays a vital role in sexual reproduction by ensuring genetic variation in offspring.
