Question

Which of the following results from mitosis?
A) ​a pair of unidentical twins
B) ​a group of rooted plant cuttings from multiple plants
C) ​the cells produced by the sexual reproduction of a single-celled organism
D) ​two new descendent cells each with a full complement of identical DNA
E) ​completely repaired DNA from damaged parental cells

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in the production of two new descendant cells, each with a full complement of identical DNA. This process is essential for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in multicellular organisms. Option A is incorrect because mitosis does not result in the formation of identical twins. Option B is incorrect because rooted plant cuttings are produced through vegetative propagation which involves mitosis but not sexual reproduction. Option C is incorrect because sexual reproduction involves meiosis rather than mitosis, which leads to the production of genetically diverse offspring. Option E is incorrect because while mitosis can help repair damaged cells, it does not necessarily produce completely repaired DNA.
