Question

Mitosis can best be described as what?

A. division of a parent cell into two genetically identical daughter cells
B. A series of four steps of the cell cycle including Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase,
and Telophase
C. A series of two cell divisions that creates 4 genetically unique gametes
D. None of the above
E. Both A and B

Answer 1

Both A. and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is splitting of one cell to create two identical "daughter cells".

Process is completed in four steps: anaphase, metaphase, telophase and prophase

Mitosis three main functions are growth and repair of cells, and asexual reproduction for the single celled organisms.

Answer 2

Hello!

Your answer is A. The daughter cells are genetically identical to both each other and to the parent cell.

The parent cell makes two copies of its chromosomes and separates them, then divides by cytokinesis, creating two genetically identical daughter cells.
