Answer 2

Mitosis

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells, that occurs when a parent cell divides into 2 to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis is specifically the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus, which proceeds to cell division, eventually creating 2 identical daughter cells. ***all daughter cells are genetically the same from its parents***
