Step-by-step explanation:

The result of meiosis is:

1. Four genetically different cells

2. Each nucleus is haploid and has a unique set of chromosomes.

3. Differences between haploid nuclei result from crossing over during prophase I and random segregation of homologous chromosomes during anaphase I.

We can conclude that the correct answer is:

Answer:

unlike mitosis, meiosis results in the formation of four genetically different cells.
