Question

Which of the following statement is CORRECT?.

a) the products of mitosis normally have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
b) are different genetically from each other because of crossing over.
c) are genetically identical to the parent cell.
d) function as gametes in animals.
e) have twice as many DNA molecules as the parent cell.

Answer 1

Answer: Option C.

The product of mitosis are genetically identical to parent cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division where a parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells which are also genetically identical to the parent cell. A diploid cell has 2N chromosomes and 2X DNA content. Mitosis produce two daughter cells and each daughter cell has 2N chromosomes and 2x DNA content.

Answer 2

Answer: (c) are genetically identical to the parent cell

Explanation:

Mitosis is a cell division with exact chromosomes number as the parent cell.(2n)

t is cell division for multiplication of cells and duplication.

It is paramount for growth and development of cells .

Therefore the same chromosomes number as the parent cell must be in daughter cell.
