Meiosis results in this many MORE daughter cells than mitosis
A
1
B
2
C
4
D
8
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: -The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell. Meiosis has both similarities to and differences from mitosis, which is a cell division process in which a parent cell produces two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis II resembles mitosis, with one sister chromatid from each chromosome separating to produce two daughter cells. Because Meiosis II, like mitosis, results in the segregation of sister chromatids, Meiosis II is called an equational division.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, the end result of Mitosis is two identical daughter cells.
