• B. The daughter cells are identical to the parent cell but very different from each other.
• C. The daughter cells are very different from the parent cell and each other.
• D. The daughter cells are different from the parent cell but identical to each other.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The daughter cells are identical to the parent cell and each other.

Mitosis results in the formation of daughter cells exactly like the parent cell; unless in rare cases due to errors in DNA duplication, variations are introduced.
