Meiosis

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the processes listed: Binary fission, Mitosis, Crossing over, and Meiosis.

Understand that the question asks for the process that produces two genetically identical daughter cells.

Recall that mitosis is a type of cell division where one parent cell divides to form two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the original parent cell.

Recognize that binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes, also producing identical cells, but the question likely refers to eukaryotic cell division.

Note that crossing over is a process during meiosis that increases genetic variation, and meiosis produces four genetically diverse daughter cells, not identical ones.
