Solution
The correct option is A Mitosis
Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells each of which contains the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell.
Meiosis gives rise to four daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes than parent cells.
In amitosis, although only two daughter cells are produced, they are not always identical to each other as genetic material (Chromosomal or DNA material) is unequally distributed between the two newly formed cells.
