Answer 1

The correct response would likely be:

Cell III is not identical to the mother cell but is still produced when it undergoes a meiotic division.

This statement reflects the nature of meiotic division, which results in genetically diverse cells (gametes) that are not identical to the original mother cell. In contrast, mitotic division produces daughter cells that are identical to the mother cell.
