Answer 1

The correct option is C

Line 3

Mitosis is referred to as an equational division, since the number of chromosomes remain the same as in the parent cell. Also, at the end of a mitotic division, two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell are formed. Mitosis helps in growth, repair and replacement of old tissues.
