How many daughter cells are formed during mitosis?
A
4
B
3
C
2
D
1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a single cell divides into 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: -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-4: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-5: -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. Your body contains trillions of cells (thousands of millions).
