The purpose of mitosis is cell regeneration, growth, and asexual reproduction,while the purpose of meiosis is the production of gametes for sexual reproduction. Mitosis is a single nuclear division that results in two nuclei that are usually partitioned into two new daughter cells. The nuclei resulting from a mitotic division are genetically identical to the original nucleus. They have the same number of sets of chromosomes, one set in the case of haploid cells and two sets in the case of diploid cells. In most plants and all animal species, it is typically diploid cells that undergo mitosis to form new diploid cells. In contrast, meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions resulting in four nuclei that are usually partitioned into four new haploid daughter cells. The nuclei resulting from meiosis are not genetically identical and they contain one chromosome set only. This is half the number of chromosome sets in the original cell, which is diploid.

Scientists now use domain Eukarya to group together the kingdoms of eukaryotic species, which include plants, animals, protists,
sergeinik [125]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Scientist used the domain Eukarya which comprises the togetherness of all the eukaryotic species. They have been put together because all of the  eukaryotic species have their recent common ancestor as eukaryotes.

The first eukaryotic cells, which had nucleus originated 2 billion years ago which had organelles. They explain the endosymbiotic theory.Most of the eukaryotic species that have been evolved from this.

Eukaryotic species have been evolved from another eukaryotic species and share some similar characteristics.
