Why are the parent and daughter cells in mitosis and meiosis different?
a. mitosis is a process that results in genetically different daughter cells, while meiosis is a process that results in identical daughter cells.
b. mitosis is a process that requires two cell divisions, while meiosis is a process that requires one cell division and results in identical daughter cells.
c. the process of meiosis has two divisions resulting in four haploid daughter cells, while mitosis has one division resulting in two diploid daughter cells.
d. the process of meiosis requires more parent cells resulting in four haploid daughter cells, while mitosis has one parent cell resulting in two diploid daughter cells.

The process of meiosis has two divisions resulting in four haploid daughter cells, while mitosis has one division resulting in two diploid daughter cells.

C

Explanation:

There are 2 types of cell division namely mitosis and meiosis.

The former occurs in the somatic cells whereas the latter occurs in germ cells.

Mitosis occurs through four stages namely prophase, metaphase, anaphase and Telophase and leads to the formation of two diploid daughter cells.

On the other hand meiosis occurs through eight stages namely prophase I and II, Anaphase I and II, Metaphase I and II and Telophase I and II and yields four haploid daughter cells.

Due to this difference the daughter cells and parent cells in mitosis and meiosis are different.

lunar landing mission. apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the moon. the first steps by humans on another planetary body were taken by neil armstrong and buzz aldrin on july 20, 1969. the astronauts also returned to earth the first samples from another planetary body.
