Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The outcome of mitosis is the formation of two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell that initiated cell division. Selections A and B are events of meiosis only and do not occur as part of mitosis. Selection D is incorrect in that the 46 separate strands of DNA never assemble into one linear strand.
