Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Mitosis and meiosis are processes involved in cellular reproduction. Which of the following describes and event that results from mieosis but NOT mitosis?
A
one stages of cell division
B
replication of cellular genetic material
C
daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell
D
four haploid daughter cells, each one unique
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis and meiosis are processes involved in cellular reproduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis and meiosis are both processes by which cells reproduce, but there are distinct differences between the two. While new cells are generated during mitosis, meiosis is a special type of cell division that produces sex cells for reproduction. The two processes were discovered by different scientists.

Detailed explanation-4: -The daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid and identical to the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Each daughter cell is haploid and has only one set of chromosomes, or half the total number of chromosomes of the original cell. Meiosis II is a mitotic division of each of the haploid cells produced in meiosis I. During prophase II, the chromosomes condense, and a new set of spindle fibers forms.
