MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Are daughter cells identical? The two daughter cells produced during mitosis are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell. This is so that the cells can have the same genetic material and serve the same function in the body. For example, human cells start with two pairs of 23 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Even though two daughter cells have the same amount of DNA as the parent cell, they may each become completely different cell types. This is because certain molecules are unequally distributed between the daughter cells during mitosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -When mitosis is over, the 2 daughter cells will contain the exact same DNA as the parent cell. As opposed to meiosis, mitosis will not increase genetic variability. Therefore, when comparing the 2 daughter cells to the parental cell, there will be no difference between these cells.
