Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following happens when a cell divides?
A
The cell volume increases
B
It becomes more difficult for the cell to get rid of waste
C
each cell receives its own copy of the DNA
D
it becomes difficult for the cell to get enough oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -When cells divide, they make new cells. A single cell divides to make two cells and these two cells then divide to make four cells, and so on. We call this process “cell division” and “cell reproduction, ‘’ because new cells are formed when old cells divide.

Detailed explanation-3: -During every cell division, a cell must duplicate its chromosomal DNA through a process called DNA replication. The duplicated DNA is then segregated into two “daughter” cells that inherit the same genetic information. This process is called chromosome segregation.

Detailed explanation-4: -During mitosis, the cell shares the copied DNA equally between the 2 new cells. This means that the cell separates all the copied chromosomes into 2 full sets. One at each end of the cell that is splitting in two. The other material that makes up the cell also splits in two.
