Which statement best describes the overall change that occurs as a result of mitosis? One cell becomes two cells that have identical copies of DNA. One cell becomes two cells that have different copies of DNA. Two cells become two cells that have identical copies of DNA. Two cells become two cells that have different copies of DNA.
Answers
Answer:
A. One cell becomes two cells that have identical copies of DNA.
Explanation:
During mitosis, two daughter cells, which are genetically identical to each other, are produced. These cells have the same genetics as of the parent cells. The process starts with 2n chromosomes and 2x DNA.
After DNA replication, two cells (with 2n chromosome numbers), but 4x DNA content emerge due to the replication of each chromosome.
The statement best describes the ‘overall change’ that occurs as a ‘result of mitosis’ is that One cell becomes ‘two cells’ that have ‘identical copies of DNA’.
Explanation:
‘Mitosis’ is a process through which every cell divides inti two, before entering the mitotic phase the cell undergoes different phases in the cell cycle through which it divides its own DNA into 2 copies and then undergoes cell division into 2 daughter cells.
