Replication of cellular genetic material

|
Daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell
|
|
|
Four daughter cells that are produced from each parent cell.

Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis has two cell divisions and results in four haploid daughter cells with genetic variation, while mitosis has one cell division and results in two identical daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis and meiosis are processes involved in cellular reproduction.
Detailed explanation-3: -The daughter cells produced by mitosis are identical, whereas the daughter cells produced by meiosis are different because crossing over has occurred. The events that occur in meiosis but not mitosis include homologous chromosomes pairing up, crossing over, and lining up along the metaphase plate in tetrads.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis and meiosis are both processes by which cells reproduce, but there are distinct differences between the two. While new cells are generated during mitosis, meiosis is a special type of cell division that produces sex cells for reproduction. The two processes were discovered by different scientists.
Detailed explanation-5: -The answer is “mitosis.” Mitosis is a process where a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells. Because the daughter cells contain twice the genetic material of the parent cell, they are referred to as “diploid.”
