Question

How do mitosis and meiosis differ in the division of genetic composition?

Mitosis produces two genetically different daughter cells but meiosis produces four genetically identical daughter cells.

Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells but meiosis produces four genetically different daughter cells.

Mitosis produces four genetically identical daughter cells but meiosis produces two genetically different daughter cells.

Answer 1

If this is for plato, the correct answer would be, "Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells but meiosis produces four genetically different daughter cells."

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is -

Second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis and meiosis are the two different types of cell division.

In mitosis, a parent cell gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells through four successive stages that are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Meiosis specifically occurs in sexually reproducing organisms in which a diploid parent cells gives four distinct haploid, sex cells (through two rounds of cell division that are meiosis I and meiosis II).

Thus, second option the right answer.
