Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key processes involved in cell division and reproduction: fertilization, meiosis, crossing over, and mitosis.
Recall that fertilization is the fusion of two gametes (sperm and egg), resulting in a genetically unique zygote, so it does not produce genetically identical cells.
Recognize that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half and introduces genetic variation, so it also does not produce genetically identical cells.
Know that crossing over is a process during meiosis where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, increasing genetic diversity, and thus does not produce identical cells.
Identify mitosis as the process of cell division that produces two daughter cells genetically identical to the original parent cell, resulting in genetically identical cells.
