The function of Mitosis is to produce daughter cells that <u>are genetically identical to the parent cells</u>. have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell but not the same genetic make-up are genetically identical to the parent cell have a random assortment of maternal and paternal chromosomes
(The answer is underlined above)
Explanation:
Mitosis is a nuclear division. This division results in the generation of two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells and each daughter cell contains the same number of chromosomes and all cell content inherited from the parent cell. Mitosis is involved in cell development of new cells and old one, growth of both new cells and old ones, and asexual reproduction.
The chromosomes which are the DNA molecule that makes up the fundamental genome of the cell are copied before mitosis. This made sense to explain how important it is for chromosomes of the cell to be copied first before mitosis so as to enable the separation of the chromosome copies to give each cell a full set of identity similar to the one copied from.
