In eukaryotic cell division, what does mitosis produce?
A
Two genetically identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number as the parent cell
B
One daughter cell and one polar body due to unequal cytokinesis
C
Four genetically distinct haploid cells with half the chromosome number of the parent cell
D
Two genetically different daughter cells because homologous chromosomes exchange segments during crossing over
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 remains the same in the daughter cells as in the parent cell because the chromosomes are duplicated and then evenly divided.
Differentiate mitosis from meiosis, where meiosis produces four genetically distinct haploid cells, while mitosis produces two diploid cells.
Conclude that mitosis results in two genetically identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number as the parent cell.
