Solution

The incorrect statement about meiosis is: "it produces daughter cells identical to the parent cell".

In meiosis, the daughter cells are not identical to the parent cell. Instead, they are haploid cells with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. This is due to the process of recombination and independent assortment, which create genetic diversity.
