Question

A cell contains the same DNA as its parent cell. This is a result of which process? A. mitosis B. meiosis C. gamete formation D. fertilization

Answer 1

The correct answer would be A. mitosis.

Mitosis is a type of cell division which results in the formation of two daughter cells each containing same DNA as its parent cell.

It usually takes place in somatic cells of eukaryotic organisms.

It helps in growth and repair of cells or tissues in multi-cellular organisms.

In contrast, meiosis takes place in germ cells to produce haploid gametes. Gametes contains half the number of chromosomes present in parent cell. In addition, crossing over takes place in meiosis which results in the genetic variation.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is option A. Mitosis is a result of the process where a cell contains the same DNA as its parent cell. Mitosis is a cell division that produces two daughter cells with DBA snae as the parent.
