Question
Mitosis and meiosis have all of the following in COMMON, except___ a Mitosis and meiosis are performed by eukaryotic cells. b Mitosis and meiosis produce daughter cells that will exit the cell cycle after telophase. c Mitosis and meiosis are types of cell division. d Mitosis and meiosis have parent cells that divide to produce daughter cells.

The correct answer is **b**: Mitosis and meiosis produce daughter cells that will exit the cell cycle after telophase.
While both mitosis and meiosis are types of cell division and involve parent cells dividing to produce daughter cells, the statement in **b** is not true for both processes. Mitosis typically produces daughter cells that can re-enter the cell cycle and continue to divide, whereas meiosis produces gametes (sperm and eggs) that typically do not re-enter the cell cycle but instead undergo differentiation.
