Question

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given :
During the process of mitosis

• A. two identical nuclei are formed
• B. four identical nuclei are formed
• C. two identical daughter cells are formed
• D. four identical daughter cells are formed

Answer 1

The correct option is C two identical daughter cells are formed

• Mitosis is the equational division where the mother cell is divided into 2 daughter cells.
• During the Sphase of the internphase the DNA or the genetic material of the cell is replicated and the amount of the genetic material is doubled in the mother cells.
• When the cell enters the cell division the cell will divided and the doubled genetic material during the Sphase will be equally distributed between the 2 daughter cells during the anaphase of mitosis.
• At the end of the telophase i.e. the last stage of mitosis the mother cell has divide to give rise to 2 daughter cells which each have a identical nucleus to the mother cell.
• Therefore at the end of mitosis 2 daughter cell each with identical nucleus is formed.
• Therefore the correct options are 'two identical nuclei are formed' and 'two identical daughter cells are formed'.
