|
|
Each daughter cell contains 1/2 of the genetic information of the parent cell
|
|
|
Each daughter cell contain twice as much DNA as the parent cell
|
|
|
Each daughter cell contains an identical copy of DNA from the parent cell
|
|
|
Each daughter cell is genetically different from the parent cell
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies-or ‘replicates’-its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set. Your body contains trillions of cells (thousands of millions).
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis gives rise to identical daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as parent cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, the correct option is (C) The centromeres separate at the onset of anaphase. Note: In mitosis, chromosomes start to condense in anaphase after the cell passes the spindle formation checkpoint and this allows the separation of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
