C) Mitosis is the process by which chromosomes are divided;meiosis is the process by which DNA is divided.
D) Mitosis is the process by which cells divide into four different sets of genetic information (called codons) ;meiosis is the process by which cells are joined together and multiplied to create growth and development.
E) Mitosis and meiosis are both types of cell division in which a single cell with X number of chromosomes divides into two cells,each with one half of the original chromosomes;mitosis is associated with the creation of sex cells that determine the sex of the offspring,and meiosis is associated with cell growth and development.
