Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diploid cells are produced by mitosis and the daughter cells are exact replicas of the parent cell. Examples of diploid cells include skin cells and muscle cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both haploid and diploid cells can undergo mitosis. When a haploid cell undergoes mitosis, it produces two genetically identical haploid daughter cells; when a diploid cell undergoes mitosis, it produces two genetically identical diploid daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells, whereas meiosis produces four non-identical haploid cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -(A) In mitosis, diploid cells replicate chromosomes during S phase and segregate sister chromatids during M phase, so that diploid daughter cells are produced.
