Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells.
A
true
B
false
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In mitosis a cell divides to form two identical daughter cells. It is important that the daughter cells have a copy of every chromosome, so the process involves copying the chromosomes first and then carefully separating the copies to give each new cell a full set.

Detailed explanation-2: -During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells. Because this process is so critical, the steps of mitosis are carefully controlled by certain genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. It is also known as equational cell division because after division, daughter cells will have the same number of chromosomes as that of the parent cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -During meiosis, the parent cell is reduced into half the number of chromosomes. It results in the production of four haploid cells, and they are not genetically identical.
