Detailed explanation-2: -During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell separates its DNA into two sets and divides its cytoplasm, forming two new cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -What stage of meiosis does independent assortment occur? Independent assortment in meiosis takes place in eukaryotes during metaphase I of meiotic division.

Detailed explanation-4: -The resultant cell is called a zygote. It is diploid as it has two copies of every chromosome-one came from the sperm cell and one came from the egg cell.
