Final answer:

The method that produces genetically-unique offspring is meiosis, while mitosis produces genetically identical offspring.

Step-by-step explanation:

d. Organisms producing through mitosis create genetically identical offspring as only a single parent copies its entire genetic material to the offspring. In meiosis, two parents produces gametes and the offspring have only half the number of chromosomes of each parent and hence genetic variation is introduced.
