Question

Mitosis results in:

A) eight daughter cells.
B) daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes but different combinations of alleles.
C) daughter cells with twice as much genetic material and a unique collection of alleles.
D) gametes.
E) daughter cells with the same number and composition of chromosomes.

Answer 1

the correct answer is E

Step-by-step explanation:

mitosis is a process that occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and immediately proceeds to cell division. It consists of the equitable distribution of the characteristic hereditary material (DNA).

The cells undergo mitosis are divided into two daughter cells that will contain the same genetic load, in turn they will continue to multiply, passing the genetic information.

This type of division occurs in somatic cells and normally ends with the formation of two nuclei (karyokinesis), followed by another independent process of mitosis that consists of the separation of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis), to form two daughter cells.

One of the worst problems of this genetic continuity is that genetic mutations of the progenitor cells are passed from generation to generation.

Answer 2

Option E

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division which every cells except a few undergo to aid in growth and development. It involves the the division of the cell after replication of DNA has occurred (doubling of the chromosomes) and then divides this number into half transferring each half into each of the two daughter cells formed such that each daughter cells typically resembles its parent having the same number of chromosomes and same composition.
