Question

What is not true about why cells make new cells through mitosis?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The process of cell division by which most of the cells divide for growth is called mitosis. In this process, each cell called the mother cell divides to form two identical daughter cells. The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the mother cell. It helps in the growth and repair of tissues in organisms.

Answer 2

A. Mitosis is a process that replicates and divides only the nuclear material.

D. Mitosis uses a diploid parent cell to produce daughter cells with n chromosomes

Explanation:

The correct options are :-

1. A. Mitosis is a process that replicates and divides only the nuclear material.
2. D. Mitosis uses a diploid parent cell to produce daughter cells with n chromosomes

• Mitosis/M phase is confined to the division of nuclear material.
• The process of duplication of nuclear material occurs in stages of interphase.
• At the end of division two daughter cells are formed with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, i.e. if the parent cell has 2n chromosomes, the daughter cells will also have 2n chromosomes.

So, the correct answer is 'mitosis is a process that duplicates and divides only nuclear material' and 'mitosis uses a diploid parent cell to form daughter cells with n chromosomes'.
