clear all

Explanation:

• Sexual reproduction: Meiosis is involved in sexual reproduction as it produces gametes (sperm and eggs).
• Asexual reproduction: Mitosis is involved in asexual reproduction as it produces new cells for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in some organisms.
• Includes the process of crossing over: Crossing - over occurs during meiosis (prophase I) which leads to genetic variation.
• Two identical daughter cells are created: Mitosis results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
• Four haploid cells are created: Meiosis results in four haploid cells (gametes) from a diploid parent cell.

Answer:

• sexual reproduction: Meiosis
• asexual reproduction: Mitosis
• includes the process of crossing over: Meiosis
• two identical daughter cells are created: Mitosis
• four haploid cells are created: Meiosis
