Well in my opinion, the answer is mitosis. The use of English and biology is not the same. Parent cell doesn't mean the cell of the parents, as in father and mother, rather it means the precursor cell, the cell that divides to give two daughter cells. For instance, the Binary Fission that takes place in Amoeba, where the parent cell gives rise to two daughter cells, can also be called mitosis. In fact it is mitosis, just called binary because it gives rise to two daughter cells. Also, taking B to be the answer means it has been narrowed down to organisms that can only reproduce s*xually, and as we all know, not all organisms reproduce s*xually, some do so as*xually. And all as*xual reproduction are variants of mitosis. I hope I ve been able to convince but not confuse you that Mitosis is the best answer to this question. Thank you.
The answer is mitosis.
The purpose of meiosis is to achieve the haploid number so that after fertilization, the zygote gets the diploid number and not an excess figure. Meiosis is a division that ensures that the male chromosome number is halved...as is the female's.
Mitosis, on the other hand, is a form of cell division instigates multiplication and proliferation. It carries the characteristics of the parents to the regions of the developing foetus in the form of genetic messages encoded on strands of DNA's.
Therefore, I'm of the opinion that, the correct answer is option A.
While meiosis is involved in passing hereditary characters from parent to daughter cells, it's specifically related to the formation of gametes (man-fluid and egg cells) during s*xual reproduction, rather than the general replication and division of somatic cells, which is accomplished through mitosis. Therefore, for the general passing on of hereditary characters from parent-cell to daughter-cell, mitosis is the more appropriate answer.
Mitosis is the correct answer. The question is tricky, mitosis in this case happen in unicellular organism reproduction which involve single parent and all the behaviour of the cell is duplicated or copied into each daughter cell or the number of cells after division when the single cell divides. Meiosis only happen in multicellular organism reproduction which involve two parent cell or cells to be divided and not all behaviour or character are passed to daughter cells
here in meiosis it has to do with little variation that is difference between cells when formed.. so therefore in mitosis all the hereditary characters are being transferred and there are no variation so the answer is note the question says ALL HEREDITARY CHARACTERS
mitosis
