Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
As a result of mitosis, each of the two new cells produced from the parent cell during cytokinesis
A
receives a few chromosomes from the parent cell
B
receives an exact copy of all the chromosomes present in the parent cell
C
donates a chromosome to the parent cell
D
receives exactly half the chromosomes from the parent cell.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As a result of mitosis, each of the two new cells produced from the original cell during cytokinesis: receives an exact copy of all the chromosomes present in the original cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -In mitosis a cell divides to form two identical daughter cells. It is important that the daughter cells have a copy of every chromosome, so the process involves copying the chromosomes first and then carefully separating the copies to give each new cell a full set.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the end of mitosis, the two daughter cells will be exact copies of the original cell. Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis II, each cell (i.e., gamete) would have half the original number of chromosomes, that is, 15 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Telophase: A membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to create two new nuclei. The single cell then pinches in the middle to form two separate daughter cells each containing a full set of chromosomes within a nucleus. This process is known as cytokinesis.
