Both mitosis and meiosis begin with a diploid cell that contains replicated chromosomes. What are the main differences between these two processes, and what types of daughter cells produced by each? Meiosis has four cell divisions and results in four haploid daughter cells with genetic variation, while mitosis has two cell divisions and results in two identical daughter cells. Meiosis has two cell divisions and results in four haploid daughter cells with genetic variation, while mitosis has one cell division and results in two identical daughter cells. Mitosis occurs in gametes to increase genetic variation in daughter cells, while meiosis occurs in body cells for growth and repair. Mitosis produces genetic variation in daughter cells and increases the number of chromosomes, while meiosis occurs in body cells for growth and repair.

Meiosis has two cell divisions and results in four haploid daughter cells with genetic variation, while mitosis has one cell division and results in two identical daughter cells.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
