What is the result of mitosis?
A
1 cell
B
2 genetically identical cells
C
2 genetically different cells
D
4 genetically identical cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Your body contains trillions of cells (thousands of millions).

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis occurs only in body cells and is the division of the nucleus that happens after DNA replication occurs in the cell. This results in genetically identical cells because the DNA is replicated and is exactly the same as before the copying process.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the end result of Mitosis is two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is common to all eukaryotes; during this process, a parent cell splits into two genetically identical daughter cells, each of which contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
