Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Mitosis makes sure that all daughter cells are ____
A
genetically identical, diploid
B
genetically identical, haploid
C
genetically diverse, diploid
D
genetically diverse, haploid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Both haploid and diploid cells can undergo mitosis. When a haploid cell undergoes mitosis, it produces two genetically identical haploid daughter cells; when a diploid cell undergoes mitosis, it produces two genetically identical diploid daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells. Because this process is so critical, the steps of mitosis are carefully controlled by certain genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis and meiosis are both types of cell division. Mitosis is the process by which most cells in the body divide, involves a single round of cell division, and produces two identical, diploid daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.
