Question

Which of the following is a characteristic of meiosis but not of mitosis? involves only one cell division involves only single-celled organisms produces four daughter cells separates one existing cell into two identical new cells?

Answer 1

produces four daughter cells

Step-by-step explanation:

In the process of meiosis, cell division occurs twice, and the final result is four cells that contain half of the number of chromosomes present in the parent cell. Meiosis occurs in multi-celled organisms.

In the process of mitosis, cell division occurs only once, and the final result is two daughter cells that are chromosomally identical to the parent cell. Mitosis occurs in both multi- and single-celled organisms.

Answer 2

Meiosis produces four daughter cells while Mitosis does not. The rest are done by both.
