CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A key difference between daughter cells resulting from mitosis and meiosis is that:
A
After meiosis, cells are diploid. After mitosis, cells are haploid.
B
After meiosis, cells are haploid. After mitosis, cells are diploid.
C
After meiosis, there are 4 daughter cells. After mitosis, is 1 daughter cell.
D
After meiosis, there are 2 daugher cells. After mitosis, there are 4 daughter cells.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid, while those resulting from meiosis are haploid. Daughter cells that are the product of mitosis are genetically identical. Daughter cells produced after meiosis are genetically diverse. Tetrad formation occurs in meiosis but not mitosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -What’s the Difference? Mitosis produces two genetically identical “daughter” cells from a single “parent” cell, whereas meiosis produces cells that are genetically unique from the parent and contain only half as much DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each daughter cell is haploid and has only one set of chromosomes, or half the total number of chromosomes of the original cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some key differences between meiosis and mitosis are: Mitosis involves the division of body cells, while meiosis involves the division of sex cells. Two daughter cells are produced in mitosis, while four are produced in meiosis. Mitosis daughter cells are diploid, but meiosis daughter cells are haploid.
