Question

as you have seen, mitosis and binary fission produce genetically identical daughter cells. this limits any variation in genetics to random changes in dna, called mutations. to increase genetic diversity, some eukaryotes have evolved a process called meiosis. to illustrate the outcome of meiosis, think back to genetics - what do you know about your genome? half comes from your father, half from your mother all comes from your mother all comes from your father some comes from each parent, but the amount from each parent differs

Explanation:

In human genetics, each individual inherits 23 chromosomes from the mother and 23 chromosomes from the father, so half of the genome comes from the father and half from the mother. The other options are incorrect: "All comes from your mother" and "All comes from your father" are wrong as genetic material is inherited from both parents. The option "Some comes from each parent, but the amount from each parent differs" is also incorrect because the normal chromosomal inheritance (excluding rare cases like chromosomal abnormalities) involves an equal number of chromosomes (and roughly half the genome) from each parent.

Answer:

A. Half comes from your father, half from your mother
