Answer is: daughter nucleus is zinc.

Nuclear reaction 3: ⁶⁴Cu → ⁶⁴Zn + e⁻ + electron antineutrino.

Beta decay is radioactive decay in which a beta ray and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.

There are two types of beta decay: beta minus and beta plus.

In beta minus decay, neutron is converted to a proton and an electron and an electron antineutrino and atomic number Z is increased by one.
