Question

A cell of an organism has four chromosomes. It undergoes a process at the end of which two daughter cells are produced. Each daughter cell has four chromosomes. Which process is described?

Answer 1

Mitosis, as a cell gives two daughter cells with the number of chromosome in daughter cells remaining same as that of parent, hence also known as equational cell division.

Answer 2

The right answer is mitosis.

Mitosis is a cell division. Mitosis is a process common to all eukaryotic cells.

In animals, successive mitoses make it possible to pass from a single egg cell to an adult organism made up of billions of cells. Mitoses also intervene in the permanent renewal of the cells of any individual and help to keep his cells all genetically identical to each other.
