D
Four cell divisions
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is a process of cell division where one parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells.
Recall that the mitotic phase (M phase) of the cell cycle includes one round of mitosis, which consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, followed by cytokinesis.
Recognize that during this single mitotic division, the duplicated chromosomes are separated equally into two daughter nuclei.
Note that after mitosis and cytokinesis, the cell physically divides once, resulting in two daughter cells.
Conclude that only one round of cell division occurs during mitosis to produce two genetically identical daughter cells.
