A. In both processes, chromosomes are copied.

B. Both processes produce four diploid cells.

C. Both processes produce four haploid cells.

D. In both processes, tetrads are formed.

Option C Mitosis produxes two diploid daughter cells, while meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a form of cell division which takes place to increase the cell number in the body.

The process of mitosis consists of a single round of cell division such that a given cell divides to produce two daughter cells.

During mitosis there is no change in the number of chromosomes of the cell thus, one cell divides and forms two diploid daughter cells. Hence, this division is also called as an equivalent division because it does not involve any change in chromosome number.

Meiosis is a form of cell division which takes place to form the gametes during sexual reproduction.

Meiosis takes place to divide a single cell into 4 cells.

The reason that 4 cells are produced from a single cell is that there are two rounds of cell division which takes place in meiosis. Thus, a diploid cell divides in meiosis two times and forms four haploid cells.

Thus, as the number of chromosomes are decreasing meiosis is known as reductional division.
