Which of the following correctly compares the end results of human mitosis and meiosis, assuming that each process occurs without mutations a. mitosis results in four genetically different haploid cells. meiosis results in two identical diploid cells b. mitosis results in four genetically different diploid cells. meiosis results in two identical haploid cells. c. mitosis results in two identical haploid cells. meiosis results in four genetically different diploid cells d. mitosis results in two identical diploid cells. meiosis results in four genetically different haploid cells

Mitosis is asexual reproduction and only requires one parent, so it produces two identical diploid cells. these cells are somatic cells, or body cells, so they're going to be identical  to the original cells (diploid cells = the same number of chromosomes as the original). meiosis, on the other hand, is sexual reproduction and requires two parents. these cells are gametic cells (sperm and eggs) so they're going to produce genetically different cells. since meiosis occurs twice (meiosis 1 and meiosis 2), it's going to result in four haploid cells (half the number of chromosomes). hope this ! : )
