Mitosis can be described as
|
|
a process where the nucleus divides two separate times
|
|
|
where the cells formed have 1/2 the number of chromocomes
|
|
|
a process that results in a nucleus containing half of the number of chromosomes
|
|
|
none of the above are correct
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. Mitosis is the process by which a cell replicates its chromosomes and then segregates them, producing two identical nuclei in preparation for cell division. Mitosis is generally followed by equal division of the cell’s content into two daughter cells that have identical genomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Mitosis plays a role in growth, repair and asexual reproduction’
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis occurs during asexual reproduction and vegetative propagation. It gives rise to genetically identical cells having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
