A pea plant has the same flower color as its parent plants.
B
A daughter looks different from both her mother and her father.
C
A cheetah cub has very similar fur to its mother.
D
A Labrador puppy looks exactly like its father.

Explanation

Meiosis produces sex cells with half the usual number of chromosomes and creates genetic variation. When egg and sperm combine, the child gets a unique mix of genes, so a daughter who looks different from both parents best illustrates meiosis.
