Here's why:
* Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. This means they have the same number and type of chromosomes.
* Meiosis, on the other hand, is a specialized type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
So, if you're looking for a process that creates an identical copy, mitosis is your answer!
