Question

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

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.

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.
