In eukaryotic organisms, what type of daughter cells does mitosis produce from a single parent cell?
A
Two genetically identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number as the parent cell
B
One genetically identical daughter cell and one genetically different daughter cell
C
Two genetically different daughter cells with half the chromosome number of the parent cell
D
Four genetically identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number as the parent cell
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is a type of cell division in eukaryotic cells responsible for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.
Recall that during mitosis, a single parent cell divides to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
Recognize that the chromosome number in the daughter cells remains the same as in the parent cell because the chromosomes are duplicated and then equally divided.
Contrast mitosis with meiosis, where daughter cells have half the chromosome number and are genetically different, to clarify the unique outcome of mitosis.
Conclude that mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same chromosome number as the original parent cell.
