• Because they are different cell types
• Because they undergo apoptosis
• Because they undergo meiosis

The correct answer is: Because they receive identical sets of chromosomes.

In mitosis, the parental cell divides to produce two daughter cells that each receive a complete set of chromosomes, making them genetically identical to the parent cell.
