mitosis and meiosis differ in the way chromosomes move and in their number of cell divisions. a cell replicates, or copies, all its chromosomes before entering either mitosis or meiosis. in mitosis, however, each daughter cell receives an identical, complete diploid set of chromosomes. by contrast, during meiosis, what do daughter cells receive? A. Homologus chromosomes are separared, and each daughter cell receives 2 diploid sets of chromosomes B.In meiosis, The daughter cells help increase genetic variation from One generation to The next C. Each chromosomes will divide tO produce two diploid daughter cells, each of which has the same number of chromosomes D.Homologous chromosomes are separated, and each daughter cell receives only A haploid set of chromosomes
