Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is mitosis?
A
A form of cell division that produces two identical cells
B
A form of cell division that only occurs in unicellular organisms
C
A form of cell division that only occurs in multicellular organisms
D
A form of cell division that produces two different cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Because this process is so critical, the steps of mitosis are carefully controlled by certain genes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is the process in which a eukaryotic cell nucleus splits in two, followed by division of the parent cell into two daughter cells. The word “mitosis” means “threads, ‘’ and it refers to the threadlike appearance of chromosomes as the cell prepares to divide.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is the process of cell division wherein the chromosomes replicate and get equally distributed into two daughter cells. 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.
