Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The outputs of mitosis and cytokinesis are ____ genetically identical cells with ____ of chromosomes compared to the original.
A
4; a different number
B
2; a different number
C
2; the same number
D
4; the same number
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The result of mitosis is two identical daughter cells, genetically identical to the original cell, all having 2N chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis divides the nucleus into two nuclei, followed by cytokinesis which divides the cytoplasm. Two genetically identical daughter cells result.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies-or ‘replicates’-its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -The result of mitosis and cytokinesis is the formation of two identical daughter cells from one cell via cellular division.
