Which model correctly shows the results of mitosis?
a
Model 1 because during mitosis, two daughter cells receive half of the chromosomes of the parent cell.
b
Model 2 because during mitosis, one daughter cell receives the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
c
Model 3 because during mitosis, two identical daughter cells receive the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
d
Model 4 because during mitosis, four daughter cells receive one quarter of the chromosomes of the parent cell.
The correct answer is:
c) Model 3, because during mitosis, two identical daughter cells receive the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
