|
four cells with half the chromosomes as parent cell

|
two cells with the same number of chromosomes as parent cell
|
|
|
one cell with a replicated set of chromosomes
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other, and to the parental cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Once mitosis is complete, the cell has two groups of 46 chromosomes, each enclosed with their own nuclear membrane. The cell then splits in two by a process called cytokinesis, creating two clones of the original cell, each with 46 monovalent chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis produces new cells, and replaces cells that are old, lost or damaged. In mitosis a cell divides to form two identical daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -The right answer is four haploid daughter cells. Meiosis is the cell division that is observed in reproductive cells. Meiosis results in the reduction of chromosomes to half, resulting in the formation of four haploid daughter cells.
