Which of the following is TRUE of cell division?
A) Each daughter cell receives half of the cytoplasm from the parent cell.
B) Each daughter cell receives one-third of the hereditary information in the parent cell.
C) The hereditary information is DNA in the parent cell and RNA in the daughter cells.
D) Three daughter cells are produced from one parent cell.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Each daughter cell receives approximately half of the cytoplasm from the parent cell during cell division, ensuring that both cells have the necessary components to survive and function. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as each daughter cell receives a complete set of hereditary information (not one-third), the hereditary information remains DNA in both parent and daughter cells, and typically, cell division results in two daughter cells (not three).
