Even though scorpions are related to spiders, there are many differences between the two organisms. One difference is that scorpion young do not hatch from eggs as spiders do. Scorpions are born live, two at a time, and they immediately crawl onto the mother's back for protection and care. They remain there for 2 weeks as they grow big enough to take care of themselves.

As baby scorpions grow larger, which process occurs in their body (somatic) cells?

a. Mitosis separates one cell into four cells.

b. Meiosis produces all of the new body cells.

c. Meiosis splits the chromosome numbers by four.

d. Mitosis makes copies of the cell nuclei.
