Solution

The correct answer is "meiosis only". This is because, during meiosis, the parent cell undergoes two rounds of cell division resulting in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. This process also involves crossing over, where genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes, leading to genetic variation in the daughter cells. On the other hand, mitosis results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
