The mechanism ensuring genetic continuity in mitosis is____________________?
Correct answer: C. Formation of two daughter cells with identical DNA
- A. Halving of chromosome nuriber between two daughter cells
- B. Crossing over of the genes
- C. Formation of two daughter cells with identical DNA
- D. Segregation of maternal and paternal charactersAccess Government Careers
Explanation
Mitosis preserves genetic continuity by copying DNA and distributing an identical chromosome set into each of two daughter cells. Crossing over and chromosome-number halving are associated with meiosis, not normal mitosis.
