Question

Which of the following best compares the cells produced from mitosis to those produced during meiosis? (1 point) Mitosis produces genetically different haploid cells, while meiosis produces genetically identical diploid cells. Mitosis produces genetically identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces genetically different haploid cells. Mitosis produces genetically different diploid cells, while meiosis produces genetically identical haploid cells. Mitosis produces genetically identical haploid cells, while meiosis produces genetically different diploid cells.

Answer 1

the answer is B

Mitosis produces genetically identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces genetically different haploid cells.

Answer 2

Mitosis produces genetically identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces genetically different haploid cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a method of cell division by which one divides into two identical daughter cells. The chromosome number does not change after division. If mitosis occurs in diploid cell, the resultant daughter cells would be diploid and genetically identical. In meiosis, the cell divides into four daughter cells and chromosome in them is reduced to half. Thus, after meiosis diploid cell divides into haploid cells. These haploid cells are genetically different due to the exchange of chromosome segments between non-sister chromatids of a homologous chromosomes (crossing over).
