Which of the following is a key difference between mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis results in diploid cells, while meiosis results in haploid cells.
Mitosis occurs only in eukaryotic cells, while meiosis occurs in prokaryotic cells.
Mitosis involves one cell division, while meiosis involves two rounds of cell division.
Mitosis produces genetically identical cells, while meiosis produces genetically diverse cells.

What is the function of the enzyme telomerase in cancer cells?
It helps in DNA replication
It helps in cell division
