Which process results in 4 daughter cells?
A
Mitosis
B
Meiosis
C
Interphase
D
Cellular respiration
Explanation: 

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: -Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information.

Detailed explanation-3: -The parent cell undergoes one round of DNA replication followed by two separate cycles of nuclear division. The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell.
