When a body cell divides through the process of mitosis the chromosomes in the daughter cells A) are formed when chromosomes from the parent cell cross over. B) are identical to the chromosomes of the parent cell C) represent only the healthiest chromosomes from the parent cell. D) represent only half of the chromosomes in the parent cell.

Step 1
Step 1: During the process of mitosis, the chromosomes in the parent cell are duplicated to ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes. Show more…

Which event occurs in meiosis, but not mitosis? A. Homologous chromosomes are divided among daughter cells. B. Daughter cells form with the same genetic information as the parent cells. C. A spindle apparatus forms to move chromosomes across the cell. D. Homologous chromosomes fuse together to reduce the chromosome number by one half.

A parent cell divides to form two genetically identical daughter cells in the process of mitosis. For mitosis to take place: A. the parent cell must divide its DNA in half so each daughter cell gets only the genes needed to carry out its functions. In this way, differentiation occurs. B. the parent cell must reproduce its DNA during telophase C. the parent cell must first be fertilized D. the parent cell must replicate its entire genome prior to mitosis E. crossover must be delayed until the second cell division

Mitosis results in: a) daughter cells with twice as much genetic material as the parent cell and a unique collection of alleles. b) eight daughter cells. c) daughter cells with the same number and composition of chromosomes. d) gametes. e) daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes but different combinations of alleles.
