Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is a result of mitosis?
A
four sex cells
B
four haploid cells
C
two diploid daughter cells
D
two haploid daughter cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A body cell divides into two daughter cells during the mitotic process. Two diploid cells are the typical outcome of mitosis in humans. Each of the two generated cells has the same set of chromosomes as the parent since a diploid cell has both sets of homologous chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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: -The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell. Meiosis has both similarities to and differences from mitosis, which is a cell division process in which a parent cell produces two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -(A) In mitosis, diploid cells replicate chromosomes during S phase and segregate sister chromatids during M phase, so that diploid daughter cells are produced.
