What are some of the key differences between mitosis and meiosis? Select all that apply. Reduction division occurs in meiosis only. Mitosis produces four daughter cells and meiosis only produces two. Gametogensis occurs in mitosis only. Meiosis produces four daughter cells and mitosis only produces two. Mitosis produces cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell whereas meiosis produces cells that only have half the genetic material of the parents. Both Mitosis and meiosis produce cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
