Question

the image on the left is called \image 1\, and the image on the right is called \image 2\. which statement best describes what is shown?
image 1 is mitosis with genetically different daughter cells produced, while image 2 is meiosis with genetically identical daughter cells produced.
image 1 is meiosis with genetically different daughter cells produced, while image 2 is mitosis with genetically identical daughter cells produced.
image 1 is mitosis with identical daughter cells produced, while image 2 is meiosis with identical daughter cells produced.
image 1 is meiosis with genetically identical cells produced, while image 2 is mitosis with genetically different cells produced.

Explanation:

Mitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells (for growth/repair), while meiosis produces genetically different cells (for gametes). The correct statement must align this: meiosis → different cells, mitosis → identical cells.

Answer:

Image 1 is meiosis with genetically different daughter cells produced, while image 2 is mitosis with genetically identical daughter cells produced.
