THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the result of the cell cycle?
A
Two different daughter cells which are identical to the parent cell
B
Two identical daughter cells which are identical to the parent cell
C
Two identical daughter cells which are different from the parent cell
D
Two different daughter cells which are different from the parent cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -The two daughter cells produced during mitosis are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell. This is so that the cells can have the same genetic material and serve the same function in the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cell division).
