Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a parent cell divides, the products are called:
A
cousin cells
B
son cells
C
daughter cells
D
mother cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more cells called daughter cells. Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle. All cells reproduce by dividing into two, with each parental cell giving rise to two daughter cells every time they divide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Daughter cells are called so because they are capable of further division. In many species, the female counterpart is involved in the process of reproduction. The males though they contribute to the process are not directly involved. Hence, the cells formed as a result of any division are called daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -The daughter cells from mitosis are called diploid cells. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes. Since the daughter cells have exact copies of their parent cell’s DNA, no genetic diversity is created through mitosis in normal healthy cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -We all exist in our present form because of a process called mitosis. Mitosis is the process a single cell uses to divide into two new identical cells. The original cell is called a parent cell, and the newly formed cells are referred to as daughter cells.
