Which of the following statements comparing meiosis and mitosis is false? A single mitotic division produces four diploid cells and a single meiotic division produces four haploid cells. Mitosis maintains the number of chromosomes from the parent cell to its offspring, while meiosis divides the chromosome number in half. Gametes are produced by meiosis, while new somatic cells are produced by mitosis. An error during anaphase would be more harmful to an organism if it occurred in meiosis rather than mitosis.
