Question

A cell of an organism has four chromosomes. It undergoes a process at the end of which two daughter cells are produced. Each daughter cell has four chromosomes. Which process is described? A. fertilization B. meiosis C. mitosis

Answer 1

C mitosis

In mitosis there are two daughter cells produced with the same/ identical

Explanation for other options
At the end of meiosis there would be 4 daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes so this is not the answer
Fertilisation is when male and female gamete come together to form a zygote, so this can’t be the answer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The process described in which a cell with four chromosomes produces two daughter cells, each with four chromosomes, is mitosis. Mitosis is a cellular division process that results in the production of two identical daughter cells, each containing the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This process is involved in the growth, repair, and asexual reproduction of organisms. Fertilization, on the other hand, is the process of fusion between gametes (sperm and egg) during sexual reproduction, which results in the formation of a zygote with a complete set of chromosomes. Meiosis is a different cellular division process that occurs in specialized cells (germ cells) and leads to the production of gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
