During mitosis, a single cell divides to produce two daughter cells. What must happen in the original cell so that each of the daughter cells has a complete set of chromosomes

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - cell must make a copy of every chromosome.

Explanation:

Mitosis is the cell cycle where cells form two identical daughter cells. It is essential to the daughter cells have a copy of every chromosome, and therefore, It copying the chromosomes during mitosis and separating the chromosome copies to provide a new cell with a complete set of chromosomes.

In the Interphase phase, the DNA breaks up evenly so that each new daughter cell has the same amount of DNA that helps in providing a complete set of chromosomes.
