D. (correct): Cells produced through mitosis contain DNA identical to the parent cells, whereas those produced in meiosis produces cells that are are unidentical.

Meiosis on the other side produces 4 unidentical daughter cells, they are different from each other and the parents and they have half number of chromosomes (haploid)
