THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After cell division, the new cells are referred to as:
A
Brother cells
B
Twin cells
C
Daughter cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more cells called daughter cells. Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle. All cells reproduce by dividing into two, with each parental cell giving rise to two daughter cells every time they divide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Daughter cells are called so because they are capable of further division. In many species, the female counterpart is involved in the process of reproduction. The males though they contribute to the process are not directly involved. Hence, the cells formed as a result of any division are called daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell division is the process in which one cell, called the parent cell, divides to form two new cells, referred to as daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -In mitosis, the important thing to remember is that the daughter cells each have the same chromosomes and DNA as the parent cell. The daughter cells from mitosis are called diploid cells. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -At the conclusion of meiosis, there are four haploid daughter cells that go on to develop into either sperm or egg cells.
