Results in diploid daughter cells.Group of answer choicesboth mitosis and meiosismeiosis onlymitosis onlyneither mitosis nor meiosis

The process that results in diploid daughter cells is mitosis only.

Here's why:

1. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth. In humans, for example, each cell (excluding sperm and egg cells) contains 46 chromosomes. When a cell undergoes mitosis, it duplicates these chromosomes and splits into two new cells, each with 46 chromosomes.

2. On the other hand, meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction. In humans, meiosis results in cells with 23 chromosomes (haploid), rather than the 46 chromosomes (diploid) found in the original cell.

So, the correct answer is "mitosis only".
