Question

1. how do the daughter cells produced in meiosis compare to each other?
2. how do the daughter cells produced in mitosis compare to the parent cell?
3. how do the daughter cells produced in mitosis compare to each other?

Explanation:

• Question 15: Meiosis involves crossing - over and independent assortment. These processes lead to genetic variation among daughter cells.
• Question 16: Mitosis is a process of cell division where the daughter cells are produced by replicating the parent cell's DNA. So, the daughter cells have the same genetic material as the parent cell.
• Question 17: Since mitosis produces daughter cells by exact replication of the parent cell's DNA (and subsequent equal distribution of chromosomes), the daughter cells are genetically identical to each other.

Answer:

1. The daughter cells produced in meiosis are genetically different from each other.
2. The daughter cells produced in mitosis are genetically identical to the parent cell.
3. The daughter cells produced in mitosis are genetically identical to each other.
