QUESTION 4 What is a major difference between mitosis and meiosis? a. Meiosis produces two daughter cells instead of the four daughter cells produced in mitosis. b. Meiosis produces genetically identical daughter cells, whereas mitosis produces genetically variable daughter cells. c. Mitosis produces daughter cells, whereas meiosis produces parent cells. d. Meiosis produces haploid cells, whereas mitosis produces diploid cells.

Meiosis differs from mitosis in that: a. two cell divisions occur in meiosis, whereas in mitosis, only one occurs. b. meiosis only occurs in ovaries and testes. c. meiosis results in haploid cells, whereas mitosis results in diploid cells. d. mitosis results in four cells, whereas meiosis results in two. e. meiosis results in genetically unique daughter cells, whereas mitosis results in genetically identical daughter cells.
