Single-celled organisms, like amoebas, reproduce by mitosis. Explain how the genetic makeup of these organisms differs from organisms that undergo meiosis.

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Mitosis involves the division of vegetative cells and it is essentially a form of cloning in which all the resulting daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cells.

Meiosis on the other hand involves the division of sex cells. It involves genetic recombination and crossing over of genetic materials between non-sister chromatids that form a tetrad. Consequently, the daughter cells produced in meiosis are genetically different from their parent cells.
