Which best describes the processes of mitosis and meiosis?

Answer

Cells in mitosis go through the PMAT stages twice to produce diploid cells while cells in meiosis go through PMAT stages once to produce haploid cells.

Cells in mitosis and meiosis go through the PMAT stages twice to produce haploid cells.

Cells in mitosis go through the PMAT stages once to produce diploid cells while cells in meiosis go through PMAT stages twice to produce haploid cells.

Cells in mitosis and meiosis go through the PMAT stages once to produce diploid cells.

Explanation

Mitosis has one round of division, with PMAT occurring once, and typically produces diploid daughter cells. Meiosis has two rounds of division, so PMAT occurs twice, and it produces haploid cells. Therefore, choice C correctly describes both processes.
