Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two identical diploid cells, each containing the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Options A and C are incorrect because mitosis does not result in haploid cells. Option D is incorrect because mitosis does not produce unique cells, rather, they are identical to the parent cell. Option E is incorrect because mitosis does not result in haploid cells.
