Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Option B Solution: Unlike Mitosis, Meiosis results in the formation of 4 Genetically different cells. Meiosis results in the formation of 4 Haploid daughter cells from one Diploid parent cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer: Unlike mitosis, meiosis results in the formation of B) haploid cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -Meiosis produces 4 haploid cells. Mitosis produces 2 diploid cells. The old name for meiosis was reduction/ division. Meiosis I reduces the ploidy level from 2n to n (reduction) while Meiosis II divides the remaining set of chromosomes in a mitosis-like process (division).
