Answer:

an atom with a single electron in its outermost shell

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The nuclei of the skin cells produced by mitosis will have identical genetic material as that of the parent cell.

It is because mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, each having equal and identical chromosomes as that of the parent cell.

In addition, events like crossing over do not take place due to which no genetic variation is developed in the daughter cells.

The process of mitosis is mainly involved in the repair and growth of the body.

Elina [12.6K]
