Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Mitosis produces how many daughter cells?
A
6
B
4
C
8
D
2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the end of mitosis, the two daughter cells will be exact copies of the original cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -When the cell divides, the copies are pulled apart, and each new cell gets one identical copy of each chromosome. This type of cell division is called mitosis, and it produces cells with a total of 46 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Two daughter cells are the final result from the mitotic process while four cells are the final result from the meiotic process. For organisms that reproduce via sexual reproduction, daughter cells result from meiosis. It is a two-part cell division process that ultimately produces an organism’s gametes.
