Multiple Choice
At the end of mitosis (after completion of telophase and cytokinesis), what is formed?
A
One enlarged cell containing two nuclei that will always remain fused
B
Two genetically identical cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
C
Four genetically distinct haploid cells
D
Two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, followed by cytokinesis.
Understand that mitosis results in the division of the nucleus, ensuring that each daughter nucleus receives an identical set of chromosomes.
Recognize that cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm divides, physically separating the cell into two distinct daughter cells.
Note that the daughter cells formed after mitosis are genetically identical to the parent cell and maintain the same chromosome number (diploid in most organisms).
Conclude that at the end of mitosis and cytokinesis, two genetically identical daughter cells are formed, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.
