D haploid daughter cellshaploid daughter cells

Answer 1

The description that would not apply to meiosis is:

C diploid daughter cells

In meiosis, the resulting daughter cells are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes compared to the original diploid cell. In contrast, mitosis produces diploid daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
