Detailed explanation-1: -Answer option C. Production of gametes from diploid cells is the correct answer. C. This is not one of the functions of mitosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -A single nucleus gives rise to two identical daughter nuclei. Incorrect. In mitosis, identical copies of the chromosomes are produced and placed in each of the daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis occurs in somatic cells; this means that it takes place in all types of cells that are not involved in the production of gametes. Prior to each mitotic division, a copy of every chromosome is created; thus, following division, a complete set of chromosomes is found in the nucleus of each new cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is important for three main reasons: development and growth cell replacement and asexual reproduction.
