Question

Which best describes the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?

Mitosis occurs in plants; Meiosis occurs in animals.
Mitosis and meiosis are both forms of cell division, but mitosis creates exact replicas and meiosis creates
gametes, or sex cells, for use in sexual reproduction.
Meiosis and mitosis are both forms of genetic modification where genes are replaced with desired DNA.
Meiosis is asexual reproduction; mitosis is sexual reproduction.

Answer 1

Cells produced by meiosis are genetically identical, and cells produced by mitosis are genetically unique.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cells produced by mitosis possess half the genetic material of cells produced by meiosis. Mitosis only occurs in the presence of oxygen, while meiosis can occur in the absence of oxygen.
