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. homologous chromosomes are separated, and each daughter cell receives 2 diploips sets of chromosomesb. in meiosis, the daughter cell help increase genetic variation from one generation to the nextc. each chromosome will divide to produce two diploid daughter cell, each of which has the same number of chromosomesd. homologous chromosomes are separated, and each daughter cell receiver only a haploid set a chromosomes
