Answer:mitosis produces 2 diploid cells

Sydney Yoder · Answer 2

Mitosis

Explanation:

Mitosis is a cell division process. The 2 cells created are exactly the same, and they have the same number of chromosomes. The result is two, identical, diploid daughter cells. Diploid means that there is 2 complete sets of chromosomes, and one complete set of chromosome pairs.

Meiosis is another cell division process, but the cells created are different from those in mitosis. There are 4 cells created, not just 2. Additionally, the cells produced are not identical. There is variation in the genetics of the daughter cells. This process creates haploid cells, meaning there is only 1 complete set of chromosomes, or half of a complete set.

Therefore, the cell division that results in diploid cells is mitosis.
