Required

1

Match the process with its key characteristic

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Meiosis		Involves a single organism
Mitosis		Results in genetic variation
Asexual reproduction		Produces identical daughter cells

Required

1

Match the process with the number of daughter cells produced

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
