CELL DIVISION

THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is a daughter cell?
A
Genetically identical to the parent cell because they contain the same DNA.
B
A cell that is the source of other cells, as a cell that divides to produce two or more daughter cells, or a stem cell that is a progenitor of other cells or is the first in a line of developing cells.
C
They carry the genetic information. They are made up of DNA and protein combined as chromatin. Each of them contains many genes.
D
Each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division. Each contains a double helix of DNA.
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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Daughter cells are genetically identical with each cell and with the parent cell.

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: -Mitosis is the process in which a eukaryotic cell nucleus splits in two, followed by division of the parent cell into two daughter cells. This process ensures that each daughter cell will contain one exact copy of the parent cell DNA.
