Answer:
A feline skeletal muscle cell undergoes cell division, resulting in two feline skeletal muscle cells.
Explanation:
We are looking for a parent cell that gives rise to daughter cells with identical genetic information.
In simpler words, we are looking for something that makes 'clones' of itself.
In this statement (second option), the parent and daughters are all feline skeletal muscle cells.
A <u>feline skeletal muscle cell</u> undergoes cell division, resulting in two <u>feline skeletal muscle cells</u>.
Other incorrect choices: (All having to do with reproduction).
A child has <u>brown eyes</u>; one of its biological parents has <u>green eyes, and the other has brown eyes</u>.
This situation has two parents, each with a different trait. The child takes one of the parent's trait. The parents did not make a 'clone' of themselves.
A human sperm fuses with a human egg cell, resulting in the development of a new human.
The parents don't make 'clones' of themselves. The sperm did not make more sperm. The egg did not make more egg cells.
A <u>long-stemmed</u> plant reproduces with a <u>short-stemmed</u> plant, and the offspring are all <u>long-stemmed</u>.
The offspring plant only took the trait from one of it's parents. Also, whole plants are not individual cells.
