Answer 1

The correct comparison between the products of mitosis and meiosis is:

The cells from mitosis are identical to each other and to the parent cell, but the cells from meiosis are not identical to each other or the parent cell.

Mitosis results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the original parent cell, maintaining the same chromosome number. In contrast, meiosis produces four daughter cells that are genetically different from each other and from the parent cell, and they contain half the chromosome number of the original cell.
