Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the result of mitosis?
A
1 cell
B
2 genetically identical cells
C
2 genetically different cells
D
4 genetically identical cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The result of mitosis is two identical daughter cells, genetically identical to the original cell, all having 2N chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as compared to their parents (one copy of each chromosome). The resulting cells from meiosis are not genetically identical because of the recombination of genes that occurred during prophase 1.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells, whereas meiosis produces four non-identical haploid cells.
