A. Meiosis produces cells with double the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
B. Meiosis produces cells with half the chromosomes of the parent cell.
C. Meiosis produces cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
D. Meiosis produces either male or female gametes

The two sentences that describe how meiosis differs from mitosis are - "Meiosis produces cells with half the chromosomes of the parent cell" and "Meiosis produces either male or female gametes." The correct options are B and D.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of cell division that brings about four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the making of  plant spores and gametes. Whereas, mitosis is a kind of cell division resulting in two daughter cells, each possessing a similar number and type of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, which is typical of ordinary tissue growth. In simple words, Meiosis is the cell division type that produces egg and sperm cells and mitosis is a cell division kind which forms the fundamental process for life.
