CELL DIVISION AND CANCEROUS CELLS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process of mitosis and cytokinesis produces two identical:
A
daughter cells
B
strands
C
chromosomes
D
chromatids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis is the physical process that finally splits the parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During cytokinesis, the cell membrane pinches in at the cell equator, forming a cleft called the cleavage furrow.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis and cytokinesis produce two genetically identical daughter cells. Each continuous, double-stranded DNA molecule makes one chromosome. DNA wraps at regular intervals around pro-teins called histones, forming chromatin. Interactions between parts of the histones further compact the DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Cell division in eukaryotic cells includes mitosis, in which the nucleus divides, and cytokinesis, in which the cytoplasm divides and daughter cells form. Mitosis occurs in four phases, called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells. It occurs concurrently with two types of nuclear division called mitosis and meiosis, which occur in animal cells.
