Which explanation about cellular reproduction is best supported by the models?
a
Binary fission and mitosis both produce daughter cells that are identical to the parent cells.
b
Mitosis and meiosis both produce diploid and haploid gametes during cellular replication.
c
Meiosis and binary fission both include the process of crossing over during cellular replication.
d
Meiosis and mitosis both produce daughter cells with fewer chromosomes than the parent cells.
The correct answer is:
D) Meiosis and mitosis both produce daughter cells with fewer chromosomes than the parent cells.
