Which statement BEST differentiates amitosis from other forms of nuclear division like mitosis and meiosis?
Amitosis involves DNA replication, while mitosis and meiosis do not.
Amitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells, while mitosis and meiosis produce genetically diverse cells.
Amitosis occurs in somatic cells, while mitosis and meiosis occur in germ cells.
Amitosis lacks chromosome condensation and spindle formation, unlike mitosis and meiosis.

Which statement best describes the genetic outcome of amitosis?
Genetic material is equally distributed to daughter cells
Genetic material is distributed, but not necessarily equally

Slower cell division rate
Increased energy expenditure
Increased risk of unequal distribution of genetic material
