Let's analyze each statement one by one for accuracy:
1. **Meiosis and binary fission both include the process of crossing over during cellular respiration.**
- **False.** Crossing over occurs during meiosis, specifically in prophase I, and is a process that increases genetic diversity in gametes. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes and does not involve crossing over or cellular respiration.
2. **Binary fission and mitosis both produce daughter cells that are identical to the parents.**
- **True.** Both binary fission (in prokaryotes) and mitosis (in eukaryotes) result in daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell, as both processes involve replication of the genetic material followed by division.
3. **Meiosis and mitosis both produce daughter cells with fewer chromosomes than the parent cells.**
- **False.** Mitosis produces daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell (diploid), while meiosis produces daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes (haploid) compared to the parent cell.
4. **Mitosis and meiosis both produce diploids and haploids gametes during cellular respiration.**
- **False.** Mitosis produces diploid cells (for example, somatic cells), while meiosis produces haploid gametes (sperm and eggs). Cellular respiration is a separate process involving the conversion of glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), unrelated to mitosis or meiosis.
In conclusion, of the provided statements, the second one regarding binary fission and mitosis being identical in their production of daughter cells is accurate.
