Mitosis produces cells that are identical to the parent cell, while meiosis produces cells that carry half of the genetic material of the parent cell. B. Mitosis produces cells that are identical to the parent cell, while meiosis produces cells that carry twice as much genetic material as the parent cell. C. Mitosis produces cells that carry twice as much genetic material as the parent cell, while meiosis produces cells that identical to the parent cell. D. Mitosis produces cells that carry half of the genetic material of the parent cell, while meiosis produces cells that are identical to the parent cell.
