Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Decide if the following describes mitosis, meiosis, or both. Daughter cells are identical to parent cells.
A
Mitosis
B
Meiosis
C
Both
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.

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: -During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells. Because this process is so critical, the steps of mitosis are carefully controlled by certain genes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Daughter cells formed by meiosis are identical to each other and to the parents cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes. Daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes. Daughter cells are genetically identical with each cell and with the parent cell.
