SOMEONE PLZ HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Respuesta :

The four daughter cells resulting from meiosis are haploid and genetically distinct. The daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid and identical to the parent cell. ... When the tetrad is broken up and the homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles, the ploidy level is reduced from two to one

i don't know the answer clearly but here's a statement which should have the answer

Hope this helps! <3

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Meiosis refers to a procedure where a solitary cell differentiates two times to generate four cells comprising half the original concentration of genetic information. These cells are the sex cells, that is, eggs in females and sperm in males. In the process, a single cell differentiates twice to produce four haploid daughter cells.  

On the other hand, mitosis refers to a process where a solitary cell differentiates into two similar daughter cells. In the process, one cell differentiates once to produce two similar diploid cells.
