Solution
The process that results in diploid daughter cells is mitosis only.
Here's why:
-
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 (except sperm and egg cells) contains 46 chromosomes. When a cell undergoes mitosis, it duplicates its chromosomes and then divides into two cells, each with 46 chromosomes.
-
On the other hand, meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number
