CELL DIVISION

THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Normal mitotic cell division results in each daughter cell having
A
half the number of chromosomes
B
the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent
C
the same number but different kinds of chromosomes as parents cells
D
twice the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Mitotic cell division produces two daughter cells with identical chromosome content as the parent cell, meaning the answer is a).

Detailed explanation-4: -Each daughter cell will have half of the original 46 chromosomes, or 23 chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical to itself. In the context of the cell cycle, mitosis is the part of the division process in which the DNA of the cell’s nucleus is split into two equal sets of chromosomes.
