Solution

The correct answer is "I, II, and III". All three statements are accurate differences between mitosis and meiosis.

I. Mitosis does indeed occur in somatic (body) cells, while meiosis occurs in gametes (sex cells).

II. Mitosis involves one round of cell division, resulting in two daughter cells. On the other hand, meiosis involves two rounds of cell division, resulting in four daughter cells.

III. The daughter cells produced by mitosis are genetically identical to the parent cell. In contrast, the daughter cells produced by meiosis are genetically diverse due to the process of crossing over and independent assortment during meiosis I.
