Question

How do mitosis and meiosis differ in the division of genetic composition? A. Mitosis produces two genetically different daughter cells but meiosis produces four genetically identical daughter cells. B. Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells but meiosis produces four genetically different daughter cells. C. Mitosis produces four genetically identical daughter cells but meiosis produces two genetically different daughter cells.

Answer 1

If this is for plato, the correct answer would be, "Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells but meiosis produces four genetically different daughter cells."

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B, that is, mitosis gives rise to two genetically similar daughter cells, and however, meiosis gives rise to four genetically distinct daughter cells.

Mitosis refers to the procedure in which the chromosome get distinct into two similar sets of chromosomes that eventually possess their own nucleus. While in meiosis, first the division takes place in half, and then again in half leading to the formation of four genetically different daughter cells.
