Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Mitosis results in 2 genetically identical diploid cells
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis usually results in the production of diploid daughter cells with identical genetic complement.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -The purpose of mitosis is to make more diploid cells. It works by copying each chromosome, and then separating the copies to different sides of the cell. That way, when the cell divides down the middle, each new cell gets its own copy of each chromosome.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
