Solution

The correct option is A 1855
Amitosis was first described by Robert Remak in the year 1855 in red blood corpuscles of the chick embryo. The term amitosis was coined by Flemming in the year 1882. It means ‘no mitosis’ and results in a cell producing two daughter cells but without undergoing mitosis. In this process, a parent cell produces two daughter cells, but those daughter cells are not identical to each other or to the parent cell. Hence, the correct answer is option B.
