Is it possible for two WiFi points to work on one Mikrotik RB951G in different modes?

Good time, colleagues.
We have - Mikrotik RB951G.
The task is to raise two WiFi access points on it, in different modes: 2GHz-g and 2GHz-n.
Is this possible on this model, and in general in principle?
There are no issues with the settings of individual networks, bridges and DHCP. I'm only interested in the hardware.

One chip - one mode of operation (this applies to absolutely everything except: ssid, security and bridging - they are configured at the client and / or Virtual AP level). Also, of course, everything that is higher in level does not concern your physics (read as: the chip does not care about IP, DHCP and the rest), it only cares about the L1 and L2 levels.
And once again, the same thing: one chip - one mode of operation (station, client, WDS and etc), one channel (a group of channels, for some modes of operation), one transmission medium (two or five), one bandwidth (total for all), one range (bgnaac - one of them or a combination)
If you need to solve such a problem - you need a device with two chips (several, more than one) or two devices (slightly more than one). This is true for any vendor, OEM, manufacturer, and software.

No. If you take a router from the "RB950" / "2011" category, then there is a main adapter and the rest of the points are created as virtual from the main one - that is, you can only manage security profiles, bridge, etc., the settings of the channel itself and frequency are borrowed from the main one.
If you need to bother so much, then you will have to take a tick from the category of RB493 and the like, insert the required number of wireless adapters yourself and steer as you please :)
