D)Mitosis resulting in four new daughter cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Early embryonic cells are pluripotent rather than differentiated. They have the potential to become any body cell. Normal differentiated cells have committed to one pathway and do not have the potential to become other cell types. Normal differentiated cells and early embryonic cells are euploid and diploid. Normal mitosis of embryonic cells and of differentiated cells never results in four new daughter cells. Although early embryonic cells reenter the cell cycle rapidly and spend very little time in the reproductive resting state of G0, cell division is still considered controlled.
