MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of division makes diploid daughter cells?
A
mitosis
B
meiosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During mitosis, a cell divides once to produce two daughter cells with genetic material identical to that of the original parent cell and to each other. Both haploid and diploid cells can undergo mitosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is the process by which most cells in the body divide, involves a single round of cell division, and produces two identical, diploid daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The four daughter cells resulting from meiosis are haploid and genetically distinct. The daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid and identical to the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis does produce diploid cells provided the parent cell is also diploid. Mitosis produces two cells that are genetically and morphologically identical.

Detailed explanation-5: -Meiosis is the process by which a haploid cell is formed from a diploid cell. The difference between haploid cells and diploid cells is that haploid cells contain one complete set of chromosomes, whereas diploid cells contain two complete sets of chromosomes. Meiosis involves the division of a diploid (2n) parent cell.
