Question

The products of mitosis normally ______________

a. have twice as many DNA molecules 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 half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell

Answer 1

The correct answer will be option-C

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division used by the organisms to produce the same or identical daughter cells to their parent cell.

The mitosis process forms two identical daughter cells from a single parent cell and the identical cells produced contain the same genetic material or same ploidy number as of parent, the reason also known as the equational division.

Since the daughter cells are clones to their parent cell with the same genetic and cytoplasmic content, therefore, Option-C is the correct answer.
