Question

A few characteristics of a type of reproduction are shown below:

1. Two daughter cells are formed
2. Occurs only in the reproductive cells
3. Chromosomes arrange along the equator
4. The parent cell and the daughter nuclei have the same number of chromosomes
5. Is necessary for sexual reproduction

Which of these are characteristics of mitosis?

1, 2, and 3
1, 3, and 4
2, 3, and 5
3, 4, and 5

Answer 1

The characteristics of the mitosis are 1, 3, and 4.

Option B

Explanation:

The characteristics of the mitosis from the given options are 1. Two daughter cells are formed; 3. Chromosomes arrange along the equator; and, 4. The parent cell and the daughter nuclei have the same number of chromosomes.

The mitosis occurs in somatic cells and is not necessary for sexual reproduction and do not occur only in reproductive cells. The division of chromosomes occurs by the arrangement of chromosomes along the equator from where it is being divided into two. Hence, the daughter nuclei and the parent cell has the same number of chromosomes. And there are two daughter cells formed as a result.

Answer 2
