Answer 1

1. A (Mitosis) — produces two identical daughter cells.
2. B (Meiosis) — crossing over occurs in prophase I.
3. B (Meiosis) — meiosis has two successive divisions (I and II).
4. A (Mitosis) — used for growth and repair.
5. B (Meiosis) — produces gametes (sperm and eggs).
6. A (Mitosis) — produces two daughter cells.
7. B (Meiosis) — produces four daughter cells.
8. B (Meiosis) — increases genetic variation (crossing over, independent assortment).
