CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The chromosome content of each daughter cell must be identical to that of the mother cell for successful cell replacement when repairing tissues.Which stages of mitosis make sure that each daughter cell receives one chromatid from each chromatid pair?
A
prophase and metaphase
B
metaphase and anaphase
C
anaphase and telophase
D
telophase and interphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In eukaryotes, the process of division of a somatic parent cell into two daughter cells is known as mitosis. During the M or mitosis phase of a cell cycle, the chromosomes present in the nucleus are separated into two identical sets, which eventually form two daughter nuclei. This is followed by cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The chromosome number in each daughter cell is equal to that in the parent cell, i.e., diploid. Hence, mitosis is known as equational division.
