Solution

The answer is D. the parent cell chromosome number.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

A. The genetic makeup of daughter cells: This is not similar in meiosis and mitosis. In mitosis, the daughter cells are identical to the parent cell. In meiosis, the daughter cells are not identical to the parent cell because crossing over and independent assortment create genetic variation.

B. The synapsis of homologous chromosomes: This only occurs in meiosis during prophase I, not in mitosis. So, this is not a similarity.

C. The total number of cell divisions: This is not similar. Mitosis involves one division and results in two daughter cells, while meiosis involves two divisions and results in four daughter cells.

D. The parent cell chromosome number: This is similar in both meiosis and mitosis. In both processes, the parent cell is diploid, meaning it contains two sets of chromosomes. In humans, this means the parent cell has 46 chromosomes.
