Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cell division can occur through mitosis (in somatic cells) or meiosis (in gamete-producing cells), which are both forms of cell division that involve the separation of chromosomes to create two genetically identical or different daughter cells. Chromosome replication and separation are important steps within mitosis and meiosis, but they are not the only events that occur during cell division, therefore, options A and D are incorrect. The breakdown of the nucleus occurs during prometaphase, not metaphase, so option B is also incorrect.
