The type of cell division shown in the diagram above is C. mitosis because the daughter cells are identical.
What is mitosis?
Mitosis, a cellular division process found in somatic cells (non-reproductive cells), yields two daughter cells that replicate the genetic information of the parent cell. These resulting daughter cells exhibit identical chromosomes and genetic material, mirroring the original cell's composition.
Thus, option C aptly characterizes mitosis as a process where daughter cells are genetically indistinguishable from the parent cell.
