<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Parent cell (mother cell)

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Cell division refers to the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. There are two major types of cell division, mitosis and meiosis.</u></em>
  • <em><u>The original cell that divides is known as the parent or mother cell, while the resulting cells are known as the daughter cells.</u></em>
  • During the process of meiosis, which occurs in somatic cells the parent cell divides into two identical cells which are similar to the parent in terms of the number of chromosomes, while during meiosis which takes place in the gonads, a parent cell divides into four daughter cells that contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
