Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitosis is the process that divides the contents of the nucleus (the chromosomes)during the cell cycle.Mitosis starts with a diploid parent cell and ends with two diploid daughter cells.These daughter cells are genetically identical (in chromosome number and genes)to the original parent cell but may differ in size and number of organelles.Mitosis is also the process that allows for growth in a multicellular organism.
