Question

erica wants to demonstrate the process of mitosis in a rabbit cell. she creates the four models shown. rabbit cell mitosis which model correctly shows how the process of mitosis affects genetic continuity? a. model 1 because during mitosis, two daughter cells receive half of the chromosomes of the parent cell. b. model 2 because during mitosis, one daughter cell receives the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. c. model 3 because during mitosis, two identical daughter cells receive the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. d. model 4 because during mitosis, four daughter cells receive one quarter of the chromosomes of the parent cell.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a process of cell division where one cell divides into two identical daughter - cells, each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In the given models, Model 3 shows a parent cell with 44 chromosomes dividing into two daughter cells each with 44 chromosomes, which is consistent with the process of mitosis and genetic continuity.

Answer:

C. Model 3 because during mitosis, two identical daughter cells receive the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
