  1. Question 1

    What is mitosis?

    • AA type of cell division in which a cell divides into two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
    • BA division producing four haploid cells
    • CA process of DNA replication only
    • DA process that produces gametes only
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Mitosis produces two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

  2. Question 2

    In which cells of eukaryotic organisms does mitosis occur?

    • ASomatic cells
    • BGametes only
    • CSpores only
    • DGerm cells only
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Mitosis occurs in the somatic cells of eukaryotic organisms.
