Question

Erica wants to demonstrate the process of mitosis in a rabbit cell. She creates the four models shown. image Which model correctly shows how the process of mitosis affects genetic continuity? A Model 1 because during mitosis, two daughter cells receive half of the chromosomes of the parent cell. B Model 2 because during mitosis, one daughter cell receives the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. C Model 3 because during mitosis, two identical daughter cells receive the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. D Model 4 because during mitosis, four daughter cells receive one quarter of the chromosomes of the parent cell.

Answer 1

The answer would be the C. Model 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

C Model 3 because during mitosis, two identical daughter cells receive the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. The daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell as well. Hence, mitotic division is used by organisms to multiply their cells and repair tissues.

In the case of this rabbit that Erica wants to demonstrate the mitotic process on, the model shows that the cell of the parent rabbit contains 44 chromosomes. Hence, based on the principles of mitosis, a parent cell will produce two daughter cells that both have 44 chromosomes each (like the parent).

Based on this fact, Model 3 correctly shows how mitosis affects genetic continuity in rabbits.
