In eukaryotes, two types of cell division occurs that divides the genetic material into daughter cells.
- Mitosis- The parent cell divides into two daughter cells and each progeny gets an exact copy of the chromosomes as the parent cell. The result of mitosis is two identical daughter cell, genetically identical to the parent cell.
- Meiosis- It is a specialized form of cell division in which number of chromosomes is reduced to half. The result of meiosis is four daughter cell that are haploid (they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell).
The correct answer is option C. daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell.
other options-
A. two stages of cell division- incorrect, Mitosis involves one cell division.
B. replication of cellular genetic material-incorrect, DNA replication occurs in both mitosis and meiosis.
D. four daughter cells that are produced from each parent cell- incorrect. In mitosis two daughter cells are produced from each parent cell.
