The daughter cells produced in mitosis are genetically different from the parent cells, but have the same number of chromosomes, while these are genetically similar in case of meiosis and have fewer chromosomes. The daughter cells produced in mitosis are genetically similar to the parent cells and have the same number of chromosomes, while these are genetically different in meiosis and have half the number of chromosomes. The daughter cells produced in both cases are genetically similar to the parent cells, but in meiosis, there are fewer chromosomes. The daughter cells produced in both cases are genetically different, but in mitosis, there are fewwer chromosomes in daughter cells.arrow_forwardAfter telophase I of meiosis, the chromosomal makeup of cach daughter cell is: ) diploid, and the chromosomes are cach composed of a single chromatid. diplaid, and the chromosomes are cach compased of two chromatids.
