Which of these correctly distinguishes mitosis from meiosis?

Question 1 options:
Mitosis occurs in germ cells and meiosis occurs in somatic cells.


Meiosis produces four 2N daughter cells; mitosis produces two 2N daughter cells.


Crossing over takes place in mitosis and not in meiotic cell division.


The number of chromosomes remains the same in mitosis and is reduced by half in meiosis.

Answer 1

Crossing over takes place in mitosis and not in meiotic cell division.

Step-by-step explanation:
