What is mitosis?
A
An asexual reproduction that produces 2 identical daughter cell
B
A sexual reproduction that produces 2 identical daughter cells
C
An asexual reproduction that produces 1 daughter cell
D
A sexual reproduction that produces 1 daughter cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Before mitosis, the chromosomes are copied.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a phase of the cell cycle in which a cell’s nucleus is divided into two nuclei, each with an equal quantity of genetic material. It is an asexual reproductive process that occurs in unicellular organisms. Thus, mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs during the asexual reproduction process.

Detailed explanation-3: -In biology, binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a parent cell divides, resulting in two identical cells, each having the potential to grow to the size of the original cell. The word asexual describes a reproduction that occurs without involving sex cells (gametes).
