Question

which statement about mitosis is true?
it consists of two rounds of nuclear division.
the chromosome number in the resulting nuclei is doubled.
two genetically identical daughter nuclei are formed.
dna is being replicated during mitotic prophase.
the chromosome number in the resulting nuclei is halved.

Explanation:

• Mitosis has only 1 round of nuclear division (2 rounds are for meiosis).
• Daughter nuclei from mitosis have the same chromosome number as the parent, not doubled or halved.
• DNA replication occurs before mitosis (in interphase), not prophase.
• Mitosis produces genetically identical daughter nuclei, as it preserves the parent cell's genetic material.

Answer:

Two genetically identical daughter nuclei are formed.
