T or F? stem cells in the bone marrow can produce more than a dozen types of blood cells, replacing those lost due to normal wear and tear.
T or F? only eukaryotic cells undergo true mitosis.
Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "eukaryotic mitosis" to get these possible sources:

Under "stem cells" "bone marrow" "blood cells" , I found:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

True. Stem cells in the bone marrow are capable of undergoing a process called hematopoiesis, which is the formation of blood cells. These stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various specialized types of blood cells, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This replacement is essential to maintain the normal functioning of the blood and immune system.
T or F? only eukaryotic cells undergo true mitosis.
False. Mitosis is a type of cell division that takes place in eukaryotic cells, which have a nucleus enclosed by a membrane. During mitosis, the cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. However, prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, undergo a similar process called binary fission. In binary fission, the prokaryotic cell replicates its DNA and divides into two genetically identical daughter cells. So, both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have their own mechanisms of cell division.
