REPRODUCTION IN ORGANISMS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Daughter cells are genetically identical to parent
A
meiosis
B
mitosis
C
both
D
None of the above
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: -Are daughter cells identical? The two daughter cells produced during mitosis are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell. This is so that the cells can have the same genetic material and serve the same function in the body. For example, human cells start with two pairs of 23 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Daughter cells are genetically different with each cell and with the parent cell. May occur in all parts of the body. Meiotic division is restricted to the gonads.

Detailed explanation-4: -Even though two daughter cells have the same amount of DNA as the parent cell, they may each become completely different cell types. This is because certain molecules are unequally distributed between the daughter cells during mitosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -The given statement is True. Mitosis is an important nuclear division that takes place in the eukaryotic cells. It is a process through which a parent cell produces two identical daughter cells. These daughter cells are genetically identical.
