Question
Which comparison of mitosis and meiosis is correct?
• Mitosis results in four daughter cells.
Meiosis results in two daughter cells.
Mitosis results in daughter cells with
half the genetic information as the
parent cell. Meiosis results in daughter
cells with the same amount of genetic
information as the parent cell.
• Mitosis results in daughter cells
with the same amount of genetic
information as the parent cell. Meiosis
results in daughter cells with half
the genetic information as the parent
cell.
Mitosis is associated with sexual
reproduction. Meiosis is associated
with asexual reproduction.
Answer
Mitosis results in daughter cells with the same amount of genetic information as the parent cell. Meiosis results in daughter cells with half the genetic information as the parent cell.
