Which of the following statements is true? The daughter cells formed during mitosis are genetically similar to, though not identical to, their parent cell. The process of meiosis forms daughter cells which are genetically identical to their parent cells. During the process of meiosis, haploid cells are formed. After fertilization, the diploid number of chromosomes is restored. Mitosis results in the formation of two haploid gametes which can then combine to form a diploid daughter cell.

i think the third one is correct

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

1. mitosis create diploid cells (48 chromosomes = 2n) i.g. like the cells in our skin. and constantly regenerating thanks to mitosis 2.meiosis create haploid cells (24 chromosomes = n) i.g. like the cells in our gametes, female produces ovum ( or Egg) , male produces sperm. I hope this help you out to understand
