Question

b) part b
how do the cells produced by the process you identified in part a compare with their parent cells?
a they are genetically identical to their parent cells.
b the are genetically different from their parent cells.
c the have a mix of genetic material from both parent cells.
d the have one - half of the chromosome number of their parent cells.

Explanation:

In mitosis, daughter - cells are genetically identical to parent cells. In meiosis, daughter - cells are genetically different, have a mix of genetic material from both 'parent' cells (in sexual reproduction context), and have half the chromosome number of parent cells. Since the question doesn't specify the process in Part A, if it's mitosis, the answer is A. If it's meiosis, the answer is B, C, or D depending on the aspect considered. But generally, if we assume a non - meiosis context (as no indication of sexual reproduction etc.), mitosis is a common default and daughter cells are genetically identical.

Answer:

A. They are genetically identical to their parent cells.
