When a cell divides via mitosis each daughter cell receives a nearly perfect copy of the parent cell's genetic information. each daughter cell receives exactly half the genetic information in the parent cell. each daughter cell receives the same amount of genetic information that was in the parent cell, but it has been altered. the genetic information is randomly parceled out to the daughter cells?

When a cell divides via mitosis each daughter cell receives a nearly perfect copy of the parent cell's genetic information.

Each daughter cell receives exactly half the genetic information in the parent cell.

This is the major difference between mitosis and meiosis, while meiosis produces haploid cells, mitoses produces diploid cells.
