Solution
The answer is the last one (D): 2, 4.
Explanation for each option:
4, 2: This is incorrect because in mitosis, each parent cell produces 2 daughter cells, not 4. In meiosis, each parent cell produces 4 gametes, not 2.
22, 44: This is incorrect because these numbers do not correspond to the number of daughter cells or gametes produced in mitosis or meiosis.
23, 46: This is incorrect because these numbers refer to the number of chromosomes in human cells (haploid and diploid numbers), not the number of daughter cells or gametes produced.
2, 4: This is correct because in mitosis, each parent cell produces 2 daughter cells, and in meiosis, each parent cell produces 4 gametes.
Summary:
In mitosis, each parent cell produces 2 daughter cells, while in meiosis, each parent cell produces 4 gametes. Therefore, the correct answer is 2, 4.
