REPRODUCTION IN ORGANISMS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During mitosis the parent cell produces:
A
2 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
B
2 daughter cells with the half the number of chromosomes as the parents cell.
C
4 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
D
4 daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -At this point, nuclear division begins, and the parent cell is divided in half, forming 2 daughter cells. Each daughter cell will have half of the original 46 chromosomes, or 23 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells from a single diploid cell. Mitosis occurs in nearly every cell in the human body.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Once mitosis is complete, the cell has two groups of 46 chromosomes, each enclosed with their own nuclear membrane. The cell then splits in two by a process called cytokinesis, creating two clones of the original cell, each with 46 monovalent chromosomes.
