Question

Which statement most likely describes the daughter cells produced in the diagram

Answer 1

Answer:

The daughter cells will each produce offspring that will have the same genetic information as the original cell.

Explanation:

The diagram you were given is shown in the image attached below. The options you were given are the following:

• The daughter cells will pass on only half of the genetic information they received from the original cell.
• The daughter cells will each produce offspring that will have the same genetic information as the original cell.
• The daughter cells will each undergo the same mutations as the original cell after reproduction has occurred.
• The daughter cells will not pass on any of the genes that they received from the original cell.

The diagram shows what cell division looks like. Cell division is the process in which we get two daughter cells from one parent cell. When a cell divides, everything in it divides as well. This is how daughter cells end up with the same structure (e.g. same organelles) as their parent cell.

The daughter cells have the same genetic information as their parent cell. This means that the cells produced by these daughter cells will have the same genetic information as the original parent cell.
