The purpose of mitosis and meiosis is to create new cells. Both processes involve the replication of genetic
material within the cell, and both take place within a sexually reproducing individual. There is a difference
between the processes, however, what is one crucial difference?
a. Meiosis creates an exact replica of the parent cell, while mitosis shows genetic diversity.
b. Mitosis create an exact replica of the parent cell, while meiosis shows genetic diversity.
c. Only meiosis allows for the possibility of gene point mutations.
d. only mitosis allows for the possibility of translocation.
