Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is more associated with mitosis than with meiosis?
A
Crossing over
B
Nondisjunction
C
Production of sex cells
D
Identical daughter cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells. Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following occur in both mitosis and meiosis? Explanation: The separation of sister chromatids is the only item of the answer choices that occurs in both mitosis and meiosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis produces two genetically identical “daughter” cells from a single “parent” cell, whereas meiosis produces cells that are genetically unique from the parent and contain only half as much DNA. Most cells in the body regularly go through mitosis, but some do so more often than others.
