Meiosis is a reduction division occurs in reproductive germ cells in which allosomes determine sex determination finally generates half of the chromosomes in daughter cells.
Mitosis: it is a somatic cell division in an organism & this division is useful to maintain body growth.
Thus, the options (a), (c) and (d) are incorrect.
The division of a cell to form two new daughter cells during growth or reproduction is called as “cell division.” It occurs in two phases, the first is being the nuclear division or mitosis (karyokinesis), followed by cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis). Meiosis is a reduction division occurs in reproductive germ cells in which allosomes determine sex determination finally generates half of the chromosomes in daughter cells.
Therefore, the correct option is – d. in meiosis, each of the daughter cells contains half as many chromosomes as the parent.
