Multiple Choice
In eukaryotic organisms, what type of daughter cells does mitosis produce?
A
Two genetically distinct daughter cells with half the chromosome number of the parent cell
B
Four genetically distinct haploid cells with half the chromosome number of the parent cell
C
Two genetically identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number as the parent cell
D
Four genetically identical diploid 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, meaning the cells are diploid if the parent is diploid.
Differentiate mitosis from meiosis, where meiosis produces four genetically distinct haploid cells with half the chromosome number.
Conclude that mitosis results in two genetically identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number as the parent cell.
