Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is option C. daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. A. two stages of cell division-incorrect, Mitosis involves one cell division.

Detailed explanation-2: -The daughter cells produced by mitosis are identical, whereas the daughter cells produced by meiosis are different because crossing over has occurred. The events that occur in meiosis but not mitosis include homologous chromosomes pairing up, crossing over, and lining up along the metaphase plate in tetrads.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis and meiosis are processes involved in cellular reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two major events that occur in both mitosis and meiosis i.e. the division of nuclear material called karyokinesis and the division of cytoplasm called cytokinesis. Karyokinesis means the process of division of the nucleus during mitosis or meiosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -The answer is “mitosis.” Mitosis is a process where a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells. Because the daughter cells contain twice the genetic material of the parent cell, they are referred to as “diploid.”
