Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Is the final result of mitosis Diploid or Haploid?
A
Diploid
B
Haploid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since mitotic cell division results in the formation of new cells which are clone to the parental cell, the resulting daughter cells at the end of mitosis are diploid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -The result of mitosis is two identical daughter cells, genetically identical to the original cell, all having 2N 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.
