Here’s the breakdown of each statement describing either mitosis or meiosis:

  1. Results in cells with identical genetic material - Mitosis
  2. Results in cells with 23 chromosomes - Meiosis
  3. The type of cell division that produces body cells - Mitosis
  4. The type of cell division that produces gametes - Meiosis
  5. Results in 4 haploid cells - Meiosis
  6. Results in 2 diploid cells - Mitosis
  7. Results in cells with 46 chromosomes - Mitosis
  8. Results in cells with unique combinations of genetic material - Meiosis

This should cover all the statements correctly associated with either mitosis or meiosis.
