Answer:

The correct answer is D. A form of asxual reproduction producing two identical daughter cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a form of asxual reproduction; the analogous sxual reproduction process is meiosis. Mitosis forms two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell; however, meiosis forms four daughter cells that are not genetically identical due to a process known as crossing over.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is D.

Hope this helps!
