Which statement correctly compares the transfer of genetic material during mitosis and meiosis?

The statement that compares mitosis and meiosis in relation to the transfer of genetic material is that mitosis divides into two cells with the same genetic material, whereas meiosis divides into four cells with half the genetic material.

Explanation:

Mitosis is the cell division into which a mother cell divides and gives rise to two identical daughter cells. It is a kind of cloning, so the daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes and the same genetic code. Mitosis is composed of the following phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. In meiosis, the mother cell divides into four daughter cells with half of its genetic material and chromosome numbers. Meiosis is composed of meiosis I (prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I and telophase I) and meiosis II (prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II and telophase II).

Mitosis is an equational division, as each mother cell produces two genetically identical daughter cells, and meiosis is a reductive division, as each mother cell produces four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes and genetic material.
